THE PASTOR’S CORNER
Every meal that Jesus shared says something to us about the Eucharist and about
Christian community. His ‘last supper’ was one of many, all of which explains something of who he is and who we are.
At this meal, the one who should have been barred at the door became the principal
guest. At Mass all are welcome – the saint and the sinner. The table of the Eucharist
would be a circular table, with nobody at the top.
Precious Gift
It was a meal of giving something precious of oneself. Her tears were external signs
of her real and true self – a precious part of herself.
We give at Mass – the offertory is the giving of the bread and the wine. We give the
gifts of the heart at Mass; the love of our lives is poured into the Mass.
And Jesus gives — forgiveness and healing. She left the meal better than she
came in, and so we too leave our leave Mass better than we came in.
The Mass is one time of giving ourselves as best we can to love and to God. Much
of our giving to God is indirect. What we give to others we are giving to him. What
we give to others we give to God at Mass.
A bright light came into that room when the woman arrived. She brought humility –
she knew her place – warmly welcomed by Jesus. The Eucharist is where we are all
equal in dignity. Our biggest dignity is we are children of god – she knew that, Simon
didn’t. She gave of herself, from the heart and God saw that and said things about
her that have lasted forever. May he say of each of us – he loved much, she loved
much. And because we loved much we are much loved.
