Palm Sunday

Daily I go to an Irish Jesuit online reading site called Sacred Space. Because I start my day at my laptop, after coffee and exercise, starting with scripture and a though-filled message sets me up just right. Today, Palm Sunday, the reading included the anointing of Jesus feet, Mark 14:2-9. Later this morning I'll go to Church and read the part of a disciple as we follow Palm Sunday traditions. The unsung hero/ine today must be the woman of that passage. She is my inspiration always. While Christ is the backbone of the revealed truth, i.e. the Bible, this woman is surely one of the ribs. Following this woman is one of the things that I see Christians do best. We are, none of us, capable of being Christ's twin. But all of us can adore Christ, humble ourselves and do what we can. We can indeed be the woman's twin. Recognizing Christ. Paying due attention. Thanking God for the gift of himself to us.
