Breaking the Flask - Thursday Eve

Mary breaking the flask of perfume over Christ's feet in preparation for is burial exemplifies to us how we should be with God each and every day. During Pascha the Church has a number of prayer and praise services, accompanied by an increase in the number of liturgies. All of this is to force us to draw nearer to God now more than ever, however this can only be fully embraced if we also within these services give all of ourselves to God. Often we give God little 'drops' and convince ourselves that this is enough, but Mary shows us that we have to give God our all and in return He will come and live within our hearts and reign within us. And the joy of His resurrection will only then be complete within us.
