    Giving

    One of the greatest secrets of the universe is in Jesus’ words, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ (Acts 20:35) Do we give extravagantly to God or our leftovers? Let’s look at Mary’s anointing of Jesus in John 12:1-8.

    The Disabled Suffer With Christ

    Jesus suffered to give us an example of how to die unjustly, but He did not condone that murder.

    Monday of Holy Week Bruised Reeds The Gospel today tells us that the Messiah will not break the bruised reed or extinguish the smouldering wick. In other words, He understands our weakness and treats it with mercy, not vindictiveness. God is particularly respectful of our weak wills and frail ...read more

    The Just Society And Why Judas Was Judged Harshly

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 9, 2022
     | 805 views

    Somehow it seems very strange to ask Judas about the virtue of justice.

    Monday of Holy Week I don’t understand why people these days feel like they have to defend Judas from the accusations that he was a thief and a jerk. He was a thief and a jerk. Today’s Gospel shows him accusing Jesus of sinning against the virtue of justice, by allowing an expensive ointment to ...read more

    The American industrialist, Henry Ford, was once asked to donate money for the construction of a new medical facility.

    The billionaire pledged to donate $5,000. The next day in the newspaper, the headline read, "Henry Ford contributes $50,000 to the local hospital." The irate Ford was on the phone immediately to complain to the fund-raiser that he had been misunderstood. The fund-raiser replied that ...read more

    With Jesus' death only days away, Mary gives an extravagant gift in gratitude and thanksgiving while the leaders continue to plot Jesus' death and the Passover crowds throw a parade in Jesus' honor.

    The message shares how Mary worshipped Jesus by pouring herself out, she worshipped as a result of what she believed, and she saw beyond the cross and tomb.

    “Mary Worshipped?” John 12:1-8 • Mary, is the sister of Lazarus and Martha, they are dining at Simeon the Lepers House • During a dinner in their home with Jesus and the disciples as guests, Mary anoints Jesus' feet with "a pound of costly perfume," and then ...read more

    Mary of Bethany displays the extravagant nature of worship as she anoints Jesus, and in so doing gives us all the model of the life of a disciple.

    Mary is a popular biblical name. As a matter of fact, it was the single most popular name in first century Palestinian culture. One in every five girls born carried the name Mary. Wow! 20% of the women named Mary! Contrast that to the Social Security Administration’s latest “most ...read more

    A perspective on John 12: 1-8. What happens at this evening meal is extraordinary. The perfume was worth a years salary, and Mary gave it freely and willingly to anoint the feet of Jesus. How will you respond to salvation, to the perfume of grace?

    John 12: 1-8 The Perfume of Grace Past events can be re-called, remembered through the help of pictures, stories and even pleasant aromas. Toast reminds me of breakfast as its aroma fills the house and beckons me to have more. For some Jewish people the aroma of BBQ lamb contributes to remind ...read more
