All three of these men started out tithing 10%, and so blessed were they by the practice, that at the time of their death, they were giving away almost 100% of their income!

Elijah
strikes the water: He and Elisha crossed the river dry-shod.
Elijah
took his cloak and struck the water. Immediately the water divided, and he and
Elisha crossed the river on dry ground. This unusual action serves two
purposes. First, it sets the stage for Elisha to repeat the same miracle, confirming
that Elijah had passed on to him the power of prophecy.

Ahab’s wife leads him astray: Ahab sinned gravely against God.
A Catholic boy married a non-Catholic girl. After two years of marriage the girl enrolled in the parish RCIA program and became a Catholic. In the months and years that followed, she became deeply involved in the parish. As the boy’s wife became involved, so did the boy. Later he told some of his friends, “If it weren’t for the example and inspiration of my wife, I wouldn’t be involved at all in the Church. I’d probably not even be a Catholic anymore.”

June 15 Monday: Mt
5:38-42: “You have heard that it was said, `An eye for an eye and a
tooth for a tooth.’ 39 But I say to you, Do not resist one who is evil. But if
any one strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also; 40 and if
anyone would sue you and take your coat, let him have your cloak as well; 41
and if any one forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. 42 Give to him
who begs from you, and do not refuse him who would borrow from you. USCCB video reflections: https://youtu.be/qdWBo4_IQP8?list=PLpTzvCOJa7DAlWO6X2kAG00Pyg_VQd3RD
The context:
During their captivity in Egypt, the Jews became familiar with the crude tribal
law of retaliation called Lex Talionis (=Tit-for-Tat) given by the
ancient lawmaker Hammurabi during the period 2285-2242 BC. In the Sermon on the
Mount, Jesus rejects even the concession of milder retaliation allowed by Moses.
In its place, Jesus gives his new law of love and grace — and no retaliation.

Elijah calls Elisha: Elisha followed Elijah.
Catherine Marshall’s book A
Man Called Peter tells the story of her husband, who was the
famous chaplain of Congress. It was made into a highly successful movie. One
day, after the movie’s release, Catherine received an unusual letter from a
young assistant sports editor of a newspaper. He told her that it was while
watching the movie of Peter’s life that he felt God’s call to the ministry. The
young man responded and was now happily studying in a seminary. It was under a similar unusual circumstance that
Elisha experienced God’s call, said yes to it, and succeeded Elijah as God’s
prophet to Israel.
