Introduction to the Celebration
Today is one of the very few times in the year when the
actions of women towards Jesus are at the centre of our recollection. We recall
that Jesus was supported and helped by women in his work as he moved around
Palestine. We also recall the incident when an unnamed woman anointed his feet
with oil, kissed his feet, and wiped away her tears with her hair. Her sins
were forgiven because she had shown such love.
Now we are gathered at table with the Lord, let us pray that
our love will be such that our sins may be forgiven.
