Christ, New Covenant!

Isaiah points through this morning's passage, at the person of Christ as God's Anointed, the Light and Helper of the nations (Ps 27) The One anointed by God will establish divine righteousness on earth. That is Jesus, the Son of Mary, who will fulfill all the covenants of the past.

Therefore, the passage from today's Gospel presents to us the anointing of Jesus' feet by Mary, the sister of Lazarus six days before Easter in preparation for the Passion of Christ.

To accomplish his mission, Jesus will be betrayed by Judas; he will have to die, be buried, and resurrect.

Like Jesus, we are invited to be the light that enlightens others, but this sometimes requires us to go through very difficult trials.

Happy Monday Holy Week!
