Hand of Forgiveness
The Pharisee Simon could be any one of us questioning Jesus about the actions of the woman in toady's Gospel whom he considers to be a sinner. He cannot understand why Jesus would entertain  washing and anointing from her. The Pharisee imposes judgement on the woman and yet only a few short weeks ago we were listening to the forgiveness of Jesus to his own persecutors. How soon we forget?
Here Jesus lives out the message of forgiveness in it's fulness and the woman displays her gratitude for the forgiveness offered. She gives love in return for love, responding to Jesus in the same way he offered love to her.
How often do we forget to show gratitude to the one who forgives us?
There is great hope for all of us in todays Gospel because we are aware that there is one who can look within and see, and, even after seeing – embraces. Not only are we called to be more like him, but we are also called to be embraced by him
I believe that and it gives me and I hope all of you great hope.
