Lord Jesus, whose crown is love and whose scepter is kindness, may we recognize the good you have done for us and our unworthiness in receiving it, that our hearts would be filled with desire to honor you, and we would give ourselves to demonstrating our gratitude and love, through you who reigns over all things in holiness and power with the Father and Holy Spirit. Amen.
‘Mary took a pound of costly perfume made of pure nard, anointed Jesus’s feet, and wiped them with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.’ – John 12:3
