Today’s Gospel Reading: Mark 14:3-9 - At that time, while
Jesus was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at table, a
woman came with an alabaster flask of ointment of pure nard, very costly, and
she broke the flask and poured it over his head. But there were some who said to themselves
indignantly, "Why was the ointment thus wasted? For this ointment might have been sold for
more than three hundred denarii, and given to the poor." And they reproached her. But Jesus said, "Let her alone; why do
you trouble her? She has done a
beautiful thing to me. For you always
have the poor with you, and whenever you will, you can do good to them; but you
will not always have me. She has done
what she could; she has anointed my body beforehand for burying. And truly, I say to you, wherever the gospel
is preached in the whole world, what she has done will be told in memory of
her."
This is one of my favorite readings. I have nothing more to
say than this...when it comes to loving God, you can never over do it.
