(Heb. 9, 11–14; Mark 10, 32–45)
The sinner, hearing that the Savior was in Simon's house, came there with the alabaster of myrrh and, standing behind the Lord's feet, began to cry and washed His feet with her tears, then wiped them with her hair, kissed them and anointed them with myrrh (Luke 7:36-39)
She does not say anything, but only acts and through her actions shows the most tender love for the Lord. That is why it was said about her: “Her many sins are forgiven because she loved much” (Luke 7:47)
Oh, when would we talk less, and act more, and through our actions testify to love for the Lord! You will say: “If He Himself were here, now I would be ready to do everything for Him.” Yes, He is here, invisibly by His face, but visibly in all Christians, and most of all, in those in need. Anoint the invisible Lord with loving, heartfelt prayer, and for the visible, do everything possible for those in need, and you will do for God.
