No Sin Too Great

Today's Gospel presents to us the familiar scene of the "sinful woman" who bathed the feet of Jesus with her tears and wiped them dry with her hear, kissed them and anointed them with ointment. (cf. Lk 7 36-50). Both Jesus and the woman receive criticism from the Pharisees, but Jesus takes up her cause, knowing what's in her heart, and refutes the critics.  In so doing, he also encourages us to fear not, to despair not, no matter to what extent we have sinned, as long as our love for him is "great", was was this woman's. We might tend to think our sinful behaviors, repeated over and over, are too big to be forgiven, but again, "love covers a multitude of sins." Let our love be deep enough, be "great" enough to remove all obstacles from seeking  forgiveness
