11th Sunday, Year C

Pharisees, Jesus, disciples and then an unnamed woman – known to be a sinner – wanders onto the dinner party. While many there perhaps look down upon her – it is an irony. All gathered, save Jesus, is a sinner in need of forgiveness. But who is the one who reveals love?  In love one finds forgiveness.

Take a moment and consider all that Jesus has to offer.  Do it from the comfort of your back porch!
