Monday 21 March

Monday in Holy Week

Isaiah 42:1-7, Ps 27, John 12:1-11

I am intuitive like Mary

Mary loves Jesus. The suffering prophet loves God. Judas cannot love as well as these two. His sins tell of his greater love for the things of this world. His heart is untouched even by ‘the poor.’ He cannot ‘see’ Jesus Christ or feel his personal need as Mary did. Jesus needs me to be a person who will befriend him and not betray him. This week I must drop all my worldly concerns and be closer to the Son of God, perhaps by being a more loving person amongst my family.
