Reflection
Jesus is anointed by Mary in Bethany, a gesture of total dedication and selfless love. While some criticize the “waste” of the perfume, Jesus exalts Mary’s generosity. At the beginning of Holy Week, ask yourself: How can I offer my very best to the Lord? Let your response be an act of love that goes beyond calculation, a sincere offering to the Lord who is preparing for His Passion.
