feet weeping and began to bathe his feet with her tears and she wiped them with her hair kissed them and anointed them with the only woman in the pharisee who had invited him saw this he said to himself if this man were a prophet he would know who and what sort of woman this is who is touching him that she is a sinner jesus said to him  reply simon i have something to say to you tell me teacher he said two people were in debt to a certain creditor one owed five hundred dollars days wages and the other owed fifty cents they were unable to repay the debt he forgave it for both which of them will love him more simon said in reply the one i suppose was larger debt was forgiven he said to him you have judged rightly but he turned to the woman and said to simon do you see this woman when i entered your house you did not give me water from life eat but she has bade them with her tears and wiped them with her hair you did not give me a kiss and she has not ceased kissing my feet this is the time i answered you did not anoint my head with oil the other the table said to themselves who is this who even forgive sins what he said to the woman your faith has saved you go in peace the gospel  who was this woman it maybe it was mary magdalen she's mentioned in the verses that immediately follow this is gospel and that would be striking if it is indeed mary ma because the words are really words that we should think about often when jesus says near the end of that possible for many sens have been forgiven hence she has the one who is forgiven little ends up loving little if it's mary magdalen we also know she is one of the few not the apostles with the exception of john one of the few who then went to the foot of the cross and it is a reality of spiritual life we have many cases in history where people who were great centers people who had very bad periods in their lives who after a conversion ended up being the souls of great generosity really offering themselves very thoroughly before go and let a speedy you know in a sense aware of the many times priests hear people say a father i'm not a sinner i have no great sense i have nothing really to confess i'm not a it become a soul of great love and that's really the goal in all of our laws to become souls of great love really devoted dedicated to all lord and praying if we have received a serious conversion and that we pray for others to come back of that also be part of our prayer in this man's many to come back to  bless that are you lord god of all creation for through your goodness we have received the bread we often heard of the earth and work of human hands will become for us the bread of flight plus we got for our offerings by your blessing on board we pray and by your grace may we be set on fire with that flame of your love through which st january is overcame every bought of the time and through wonders of your money in your mercy you give author to their feet to their endurance you
