The reading today is where the sinful woman washed Jesus feet with her tears. Luke 7:36-50. To me it is one of the most moving scenes in the Gospels. The woman knew she had been forgiven much and so she loved much. I wonder if our ardor for the Lord cools because we have forgotten or perhaps have never realized how much the Lord has forgiven us? May the Holy Spirit give us a glimpse of the extent of how much God has forgiven us! Even Paul the Apostle, who was as righteous as they come, confessed at the end of his life, "this is a faithful saying, 'Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners,' of whom I am chief."
Of course, nowadays, people don't believe in sin--but if that's the case, what do we call the mess we're in?
