11th Sunday Ordinary Time Gospel Reflection

You can get the whole Gospel reading here 

It was the much in Magdalene that Jesus loved.

for, as Mark says,

“He was too much for them”

like a woman who loves too much

like an ointment that costs too much

and is spilled too much

like a seventy times seven God

who forgives too much

like a seed that grows too much

and yields thirty

sixty

a hundred fold

by John Shea
