April 2, 2012 – John 12: - Mary anoints Jesus

The gospel is about how Judas became jealous of Jesus when Mary anointed Him with perfume. In real life, we encounter people who got jealous of what we owned and have achieved. We see and hear people who receive praise and recognition at their place of work, in the church or in their family. This public acclamation can cause jealousy by those who did not receive it. They say good and bad things about others. They employ false witness against neighbors and fall into great sin. So what we need is repentance by asking God’s forgiveness. We should then fix our eyes on our blessings before us not on others. We should focus our attention on how we can attain our own crown of glory and success. Every human being has its own fame or achievement depending on how he/she manages or controls his own life. But we should always have Christ in our minds when we work towards the fulfillment of our dreams.
