John takes us back to the story of Jesus with Lazarus, Mary and Martha. And with them reveals their hearts and their attitudes, the spiritual and the carnal. Jesus is attended by his friends with a dinner in his honor, which shows us a Jesus who did not despise the invitations of his friends to share with them . While Jesus and Lazarus ate at the table, Marta was concerned to serve and tend the table. Now we are told how Mary had poured a large amount of pure spikenard perfume, an expensive perfume, as an act of deep adoration that arises from her heart that dries with his hair. Judas the traitor lets glimpse in his words his true interests, he does not care about the poor, he worries is the root money that corrupted his heart to the point of being possessed by Satan. unbeliever does not understand, and stays with the superficial, instead the spiritual goes to the depths and proof of the fragrance of Christ. The purest acts of adoration are those that arise from the inside of our being to bless our Lord and Savior. Poverty first is a mental attitude difficult to remove, then it is an injustice that having the opportunity to serve the needy who has the money only takes advantage of it for its own benefit.
Jesus wants us to serve the poor, but in this solemn moment we have Jesus, there will be more spaces to serve the poor and needy, in whose cause we also serve Christ.
