"His Feet were Wet
with her Tears"
(Jesus and Mary
Magdalena)

Then he (Jesus) turned toward the woman
and said to Simon, " Do you see this woman? I
came into your house. You did not give me
any water for my feet, but she wet my feet
with her tears and wiped them with her hair.
You did not give me a kiss, but this woman,
from the time I entered, has not stopped
kissing my feet. You did not put oil on my
head, but she has poured perfume on my feet.
Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been
forgiven - for she loved much. But he who has
been forgiven little, loves little." (Luke 7:36-
47
