44Then he turned toward the woman and said to Simon, Do you see this woman? I came into your house. You did not give me any water for my feet, but she wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. 45You did not give me a kiss, but this woman, from the time I entered, has not stopped kissing my feet. 46You did not put oil on my head, but she has poured perfume on my feet. 47Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgivenfor she loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little. 48Then Jesus said to her, Your sins are forgiven. 49The other guests began to say among themselves, Who is this who even forgives sins?
50Jesus said to the woman, Your faith has saved you; go in peace.
in my heart am i simon or the woman? do i throw myself at your feet in adoration and radical abandon or do i smugly sit at the table thinking i "deserve" your presence[presents]. Looking inward I have to ask myself where am I? at the feet or across the table? The way I know: examine how I look at the people far from God. Does my heart break or do I sit in judgement. Lord open my eyes to who you are, that i would abandon all at your feet.
And then you remind me that my sins are forgiven, that my faith has saved me, and that I am to go in peace. in peace i go.
