        Luke 13.1-9
        With his own suffering lying ahead of him in Jerusalem, Jesus reflects on                 two recent disasters in the area. They are not a punishment from God.                     Those who suffer are no more sinful than anyone else – but all of us need                to repent, and to bear fruit worthy of repentance.

​                   In an act of great passion, Mary anoints Jesus’ feet with perfumed oil. While Judas                             criticizes it as a lavish waste of money that could have been spent on the poor, Jesus                       defends it as a prophetic sign of his imminent burial.

​                         Jesus finally reaches Jerusalem and arranges to enter the city on a donkey. As he joins                            the crowds of pilgrims arriving for the Passover festival, his disciples hail him as ‘the                                king who comes in the name of the Lord’ – to the annoyance of the watching                                            Pharisees.
