October 19th -- John 12
AN ACT OF DEVOTION
THERE are many acts of homage that seem to have little practical value, yet they are fragrant, and Jesus understands the loving devotion from which they spring. Sometimes they are criticized because they are intangible; occasionally less worthy motives lie behind the depreciation. No one but Jesus had any right to assess the value of Mary's action (John 12). Judas entering into this sacred intimacy was guilty of gross sacrilege. It is a scene which can be re-enacted and contains a lesson that we must all learn. It is fatally easy to pass harsh judgments upon tender expressions of love which we fail to understand.
