Wednesday: Deadly Plots & Expensive Perfume

Even to the end, His disciples didn’t totally “get” what was going on. When this woman anointed Jesus with expensive perfume, they were indignant at this “beautiful thing” (Matt 26:10) because they didn’t understand. Spend some time thinking about how intimate and meaningful this moment must have been for Jesus, knowing what was soon to come.

Today’s readings: Matt 26:1-16; Mark 14:1-11; John 12:1-11
