In this Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus dines in a Pharisee’s house. Upon learning that he was at table in the house of the Pharisee, a sinful woman in the city comes to Jesus and weeps at his feet and bathes his feet with her tears. She then wipes her tears with her hair and anoints Jesus with oil. All these the woman did to show her love to Jesus and to express sorrow for her sins.
