"YOUR FAITH HAS SAVED YOU"

A Pharisee invited Jesus for a dinner at his home.
They were eating when a woman from the streets, a prostitute,
when she realized that Jesus was there, very shyly entered that house and
with a flask of perfume in her hands, she knelt behind Him at His feet
and started crying until His feet were wet with her tears; and she wiped
them off with her hair and kissed them pouring her perfume on them.
When the Pharisee saw what was going on, he said to himself: If Jesus
were a prophet, He would had known what kind of a woman she really is.
Jesus knew what he was thinking and told him: Simon:
Tell me Teacher he answered.
And Jesus said: A man loaned money to two people, five thousand to one,
and five hundred to the other, no one could pay him back, and being
merciful he forgave their debts to both of them.
To your understanding: Who do you think will love him more after that?
I suppose the one who owed him the most Simon answered.
Yes! You judged correctly Simon, Jesus answered, see this woman?
When I came to your house you did not gave water to wash my feet.
But she has washed them with her tears and wiped them with her hair.
You did not great me with a kiss, but she has not ceased to kiss them.
You did not anointed me with oil as we usually do, but she has covered
my feet with an expensive perfume.
She loves me much because her sins that were many were forgiven,
But one who is forgiven little, little loves.
And He said to her:
Your sins are forgiven.
Then the men at the table said to themselves:
Who this man thinks He is forgiving sins?
And Jesus said to the woman:
Go in peace!
Your faith has saved you!
Luke 8: 36 to 50.

PRAISE THE LORD!
