Great & Holy Wednesday

This day’s readings recall the woman who anointed Jesus with costly oil and is scolded by the apostles for its waste (Matthew 26:6-13, Mark 14:1-11). Jesus defends her loving gesture, telling them that she has prepared his body for burial and that wherever the Gospel is preached in the world, “what she has done will also be told, in memory of her.”
