A woman of the street came and anointed the head of Jesus with his bottle of aromatic oil, the most valuable of all possessions. The Act seemed almost unbecoming, Cutaneous eruption, and provoked criticism even among the disciples - an absurd piece of extravagance that did not show evidence of a moderate behavior. But Jesus read the depths of his soul. He knew what it meant this crazy Act. He said: "That is forgiven much, he loves very much." Jesus did not say: "which is given much, it loves you much", but "who are forgiven much". The prodigal son had given much. His father had thrown him to lose and had given him everything he could. But the money does not create any relationship. The father could not buy the affection of his son. Then came the moment of truth, the return of the prodigal son, and far beyond the money became the communication of love. But be forgiven was a gift with a quality that demanded more than a hand, demanded a heart: a heart to give and a heart to receive. The son was unable to take the money in the hand of the hand of the father, but could not have forgiveness as a mere charity. He thanks to exchange for money, but the only change for the forgiveness was love. Jesus says: "I you love?" do you love?
