HOLY MONDAY 11th APRIL 2022
John 12, 1-11:
“Mary took a pound of ointment of spikenard, genuine and costly, and anointed Jesus’ feet and wiped them with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume”.
Would that your life and mine were like that perfume of spikenard, authentic and costly, that Mary of Bethany poured at the feet of Jesus.
A life that is poured daily into God and into others. A life lived and spent in service and kneeling in affection at the feet of our brothers and sisters.
When we live life in this way, wherever we are, everything will be filled with the “fragrance of perfume”.
Try to perfume the Church and the world by giving the perfume of the best of yourself, of your best qualities, of everything that is part of you and that can enrich those around you.
May your heart during these days of Holy Week, and always, be filled with the best perfume and may you know how to give of yourself in order to perfume everything around you.
Good day.
