| dc.description.abstract | This reflection for Monday of Holy Week draws upon the poignant encounter between Mary of Bethany and Jesus, as narrated in John 12:1-11. It invites us to contemplate the depth of sacrificial love, humility, and prophetic witness embodied in Mary's act of anointing Jesus’ feet with costly perfume. Her gesture, a powerful symbol of devotion and insight, is explored as a challenge to our own expressions of discipleship and service. Rooted in Ignatian spirituality, the reflection encourages us to consider how our lives – like Mary's – can become fragrant offerings that point towards Christ, especially in a world that often undervalues such acts of selfless love. This meditation forms part of a broader series designed to accompany the faithful through Holy Week with prayer, introspection, and renewed commitment to the mission of Christ. | en |
