From John 12:8, I learnt about giving my all to God in worship. Jesus honored Mary for what she did. Logically, Mary could have sacrificed her valuable oil for the poor instead of anointing Jesus’ feet as mentioned by Judas. However, the opportunity to honor Jesus was unique—it was the last chance she would have for that act of worship. Worshiping God should be filled with love and gratitude.
从今天的若12：8中，我学到了在朝拜中完全的交托给天主。耶稣赞扬玛利亚所做的。从逻辑上来说，玛利亚本可以像犹达斯所提到的牺牲自己珍贵的精油给穷人，而不是用来抹耶稣的脚。然而，这尊荣主耶稣的机会是独特的──是她最后可以这样侍奉的机会。侍奉天主应该充满爱与感恩。
