Homily from March 28, 2021

Could you be humble enough to play a pivotal role and still be anonymous?  That's just what the woman did in today's Gospel.  As we hear the beginning of the Palm Sunday Passion Narrative, a nameless woman appears, breaks open an expensive jar of pungent, aromatic oil, and pours it on Jesus' head and body.   This act of foreshadowing is a big moment of the evening, but what significance does it hold for us?  Fr. John Haugen breaks it down for us.
