On the Cross, Jesus executed a plan of salvation that requires personal willingness to do God’s will. Our Savior cautioned that spiritual growth can get trampled or crowded out, as illustrated in His parable of seed falling on different types of ground. Saint Paul explained that people have different gifts and the responsibility to use them with love as the reason. In a residence with a courtyard, a Pharisee could allow the public to listen to conversation with a notable guest. At the home of a disdainful Pharisee named Simon, a sinful woman lovingly cried at Jesus’ feet, dried them with her hair, and anointed them with oil. Likewise with love, Jesus forgave her sins. Do we come to Mass with roll-call dutifulness or the desire to fully embrace God’s call?
