THE
GOSPEL
Luke 7:36–8:3 OR 7:36-50
Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them, and anointed them with the ointment.
|
Christ,
we kneel
with the woman.
You
know
the lights
and the darks of us.
the faults and the goodnesses.
And you know the love we have for you.
Break our alabaster flasks,
help us pour our love
on all those
we know;
in other words,
pour
our
love
upon you.
THE
FIRST
READING
2 Samuel 12:7-10, 13
”The Lord on his part has forgiven your sin; you shall not die.”
|
David,
for his part,
lusted, murdered
and connived.
Jesus,
for his part,
forgave.
Christ, let us be like you.
Jesus,
Wrap our being and our doing into your eternal life.
Fold all that we are into your love.
Make all our deeds
holy.
