YOU ARE FORGIVEN
In the biblical days, feet were
surely the dirtiest part of the body
with only sandals or bare feet to
tread
through
the
desert
! sand. Jesus suggests that water
would have been the least that
!
could have been used to bathe His Feet, which the Pharisee
failed to do; but the woman goes beyond what would have been
sufficient and gives her all by bathing our Lord's Feet with her
tears, an acknowledgement of her own unworthiness to
approach even His dirt-covered Feet. By kissing His Feet and
anointing them, she accepts her own nothingness and submits
to the superiority of her Lord and offers thanks for the gift of
being permitted to wash His Feet. All this is done not because
of some sort of protocol, but rather it is an expression of her
love for Jesus.
Metaphorically, this opens up a can of worms when
considering our own expressions of worship – how we enter a
church, bowing and genuflecting, maintaining a reverent silence
before the Tabernacle, attentiveness to the proclamation of the
Scriptures, spending a few moments after Mass to offer
thanksgiving for the phenomenal gift of the Eucharist, etc. Also,
when entering deeper into this particular scene, washing away
dirt speaks of Confession and how when partaking of that
sacrament we are not only repairing the wounds of the soul but
are in a sense washing our dirt off of Jesus which covers His
Flesh, thus inhibiting us from kissing His Feet or more
comprehensibly, having His Flesh, His Eucharistic presence,
pass our lips. It’s something to reflect on when understanding
the Church’s teaching that the Blessed Sacrament should not
be approached for consumption if there is mortal sin on the
soul.
In the ongoing daily battle of conversion, if it is a true
conversion, pious dispositions like faith, hope, love, charity and
sorrow are joined together. This is evident in this Gospel and
clears up any controversial theological arguments concerning
sins being forgiven because of showing great love versus being
saved because of faith. It also shows that faith is not merely an
intellectual ascent but rather an expression and attitude of the
whole person. Sadly, because of our brokenness, what also
cannot be ignored are our own prejudices and jealousies that
can surface as portrayed here by the Pharisee. Depending on
one's own willingness to love others, the pious expressions of
others will either draw out admiration or even a sense of
communion with that person or persons - or it will render a first
impression laced with jealousy and envy. Sometimes envy and
jealousy are rooted in the misjudgment that one lugs around on
his/her shoulders sins that are unforgivable. Once again, our
Lord said to Saint Faustina: “The greater the sinner, the greater
the right he has to My mercy.”

First Reading - 2 Samuel 12:7-10, 13
The prophet Nathan told King David a parable that
convicted him of his adultery and murder. Nathan
recalled what God had done for David and asked,
“Why have you despised the word of the Lord and
done what is evil in God’s sight?” There would be
terrible consequences for the house of David, but
he acknowledged his sin and lived.
Second Reading - Galatians 2:16, 19-21
Paul insists that trusting in Christ is what makes a
person righteous, rather than the “works of the
law.” Genuine faith in Christ means that a person
is free from the constraints of a legal righteousness
(keeping dietary and Sabbath laws) and finds life
in Christ’s death and resurrection.
Gospel - Luke 7:36-8:3 or 7:36-50
Some think the unnamed woman here is Mary
Magdalene since she is mentioned in Luke 8. But
the woman who anointed Jesus’ feet in an act of
humility and love was probably a prostitute, who
in Christ had found forgiveness. The point is not
her identity, but the resentment of the Pharisee that
Jesus had extended such grace to a wicked woman.

Last year, over 1000 seniors received their
vouchers at Sts. Peter & Paul and we hope
we can assist at least that many Kapuna this

helps provides more nutritious foods to our
seniors during the summer and fall. Mahalo.
