Love-Hungry

Monday. Mark 14: 1-9.

Jesus is so grateful for love. It alone can satisfy his heart. He judges everyone by the heart’s action. He thinks of every action of ours, every bit of service, every gift, by how much heart is in it. It’s the coin, or the act, that is tinged red with the heart’s blood, which he prizes most. It may be only a small jar of ointment, but its fragrance fills his heart and all the world.
