How do you show someone you love them? In all four Gospels, including John 12, we see a beautiful and poignant act of love by Mary of Bethany for Jesus when she anoints him just a few days before his death. Such was the beauty of this gift that in other Gospels, we hear Jesus proclaim, “Truly, I say to you, wherever the gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will be told in memory of her.” As we prepare for Holy Week, we will do as Jesus says. We will reflect on Mary’s gift and her story — a story of a love that was more than good enough.
