Can People Smell You? | Rise Up Day 41 Reflection on the Aroma of Christ

Happy Monday of Holy Week!

In today’s Gospel (John 12:1–11), Mary anoints Jesus’ feet with aromatic oil—and the entire house is filled with its fragrance. Fr. Jonathan Meyer challenges us to ask: What kind of aroma do we bring into the world?

 

Do we bring the fragrance of love, kindness, and encouragement—or negativity and gossip? Inspired by the little way of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, discover how even the smallest acts can leave a lasting scent of holiness.

 

Let your presence be a blessing. Be the aroma of Christ.
