She loosened her hair and wiped them. The house filled with fragrance. Judas called it waste.Jesus called it preparation for His burial.Today's readings bring together Isaiah's portrait of the gentle servant who will not break a bruised reed, the psalmist's confidence that the Lord is light and salvation, and the shocking extravagance of Mary's anointing at Bethany.Meanwhile, Lazarus sat at the table, living proof of resurrection, and the chief priests plotted to kill him too.This is Holy Week.
