Roy Villas The Love of a Sinner Depending on your interpretation of this caption - either as a sinner being loved or as a sinner in possession of love - what is important here is the dominance of love. Love is pervasive and all encompassing, even showing its rays in the darkest circumstances. Today’s gospel passage is the account of the encounter of Jesus with a nameless woman (with a kind of notoriety), who washed his feet with her tears and dried them up with her hair. It portrays and affirms in a real and deep sense that true love is expressed in generous mercy and gratitude. The woman was considered an outcast, and derided by others who sanctimoniously saw her outpouring of sincere emotion and love on Jesus as inappropriate. But Jesus looked deeper into her soul, he saw in her a woman made in the image and likeness of God. He saw in her, a wounded beauty that needed healing, he accepted what she had to offer from her very state as a genuine expression of her love and appreciation for what he has done for her. Since the assumption of his papacy, the Holy Father Pope Francis, has stressed that mercy is paramount in the mission of the church. Once asked about the position of the church on gay people, he retorted, “who am I to judge?” Though this passage has since then been hijacked and misinterpreted, but the Holy Father who once responded when asked, “who are you? “I am a sinner whom God has looked upon,” was only highlighting the fundamental teaching of the church, that we all are sinners who are in need of God’s mercy. Above all, that we all bear the image of God because we are made in God’s likeness. Thus, it is the onus of the church to seek and search for the straying sheep. He famously said: “I prefer a church which is bruised, hurting and dirty because it has been out on the streets, rather than a church which is unhealthy from being confined and from clinging to its own security.” Like the nameless woman whom we could adopt or appropriate with our very names, let us be reassured of God’s mercy, and above all, may we appreciate God’s love for us, people made in the image and likeness of God - imago dei. - Fr.
