Reflection for Today...
It is Holy Week so let us reflect on our lives and ask God for the forgiveness of our sins. Let us also ask for strength to turn away from our sins. Let us ask for strength to be able to carry our crosses just like Jesus Christ.
The Gospel for today(Jn 12:1-11) tells us about the miracle Jesus did for Lazarus. Jesus raised him up from the dead. Many people started believing in Jesus but also, many hated Him. The gospel is also about Mary, who humbly and willingly anointed the feet of Jesus with a very expensive oil. Judas, one of Jesus' apostles, said "Why was this oil not sold for three hundred days' wages and given to the poor." Jesus replied, "Leave her alone. Let her keep this for the day of my burial. You always have the poor with you, but you do not always have me."
This phrases Jesus said shows us that Jesus is prepared to die. I can say that Mary is blessed because she was able to know and see the Truth. She knew that we should offer the greatest things to the Lord. Because every great things we receive comes from Him. We should offer Him everything, even our sufferings.
Let us always remember that Jesus loves us even though we have done things that hurt Him. He loves us that He wants to be with us even in our saddest times.
