Shocking without any doubt<\/em><\/p>\n

Jesus, the embodiment of God\u2019s shocking forgiveness, provides us with the opportunity to love with abandon.<\/h4>\n

It is shocking to Simon the Pharisee that his guest lets a notorious sinful woman approach him. \u00a0He doubts, therefore, that Jesus is a prophet.<\/p>\n

Simon and the other guests find even more shocking, of course, that unacceptable public expressions of intimacy do not bother Jesus, for there at Jesus\u2019 feet is the woman, with her hair undone.\u00a0 She bathes his feet with her tears, wipes them with her hair, kisses them and, finally, anoints them with expensive perfume.<\/p>\n

The one who looks into the heart perceives the woman\u2019s sentiments and the Pharisee\u2019s thoughts.\u00a0 He speaks and tells a parable.\u00a0 He makes it known that such shocking display of love shows without question that the woman is already forgiven.\u00a0 She loves so much since much has been forgiven to her.\u00a0 Her gratitude turns into an outpouring of love.<\/p>\n

Hence, it is not that the woman\u2019s shocking love has made her deserving of forgiveness.\u00a0 She really has no way of repaying her debts.\u00a0 Forgiveness is due solely to Jesus\u2019 mercy and is the result of faith that works through love.\u00a0 The same faith has impelled her to go to Jesus, who now finally confirms that she is justified by faith and forgiven.\u00a0 He says to her:<\/p>\n

Your sins are forgiven.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He adds, for good measure:<\/p>\n

Your faith has saved you.\u00a0 Go in peace.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In spite of our listening to the parable, not all of us who try to follow Jesus remain as faithful as Mary Magdalene (she is not to be mistaken for the sinful woman) to the inclusive Christian mission of evangelization and healing.\u00a0 There are in the Church pharisaical Christians who love little.<\/p>\n

Seeing the appearance and judging before the appointed time, modern Pharisees insist that there be separation now between the \u201cblessed\u201d and the \u201caccursed.\u201d\u00a0 They find it bothersome\u2014if not altogether shocking\u2014that growing together until harvest time are the wheat and the weeds.<\/p>\n

They also feel \u201cthat it is enough simply to apply moral laws to those living in \u2018irregular\u2019 situations\u201d (AL<\/em><\/a> 305). They hide \u201cbehind the Church\u2019s teachings, \u2018sitting on the chair of Moses and judging at times with superiority and superficiality difficult cases and wounded families.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

They probably do not take seriously the teaching, \u201cThe Eucharist \u2026 is not a prize for the perfect but a powerful medicine and nourishment for the weak\u201d (EG<\/em><\/a> 47).\u00a0 Are they not the ones who would dishonor the poor person in shabby clothes in our assemblies and honor the one wearing fine clothes?<\/p>\n

Grant us your shocking forgiveness, Lord Jesus.\u00a0 Make us understand that love is above all rules <\/em>(SV.EN X:478<\/a>).<\/p>\n
