¡What an honor it was!
Here John highlights the cost of a love offering that comes from the heart of a woman, she broke the container and spilled, the contents on the head of the Lord and also anointed her feet, then in an attitude of humility and great reverence took his hair and with him dried those holy feet.
This act reminds us of the gifts of the magicians who offered their gold, incense and myrrh in an act of worship. This generous act of Mary was a sincere gesture of the deep devotion that was in her soul towards her blessed savior, in addition this offering of love, teaches us that we spill our whole life at the feet of our savior.
