IYMBOL OI" ALL SINNERI

I

As I.wrlte this it is the feast 0 st. Mary Magdalen, one of the bes known and most loved Christian saints. She is a symbol of human wcgkness, but of a weakness which can be transformed into greatness by the grace of God. She is the one saint whom Jesus war ed his followers to publicize: "Wherever this Gospel shall be preached in me whole world, this shall be told for a memory of her "

who was this Mary Magdalen? the Gospel tellsvus that she was a snner in the Cltyushe evidently was well known and one whom the :1-sdainful Pharisees held at men- tal as well as physical arm's length. The striking thing is that she evi- dently was a friend of Jesus.

She appears in the Gospel at a y-,1lhCl' pivotal time. Jesus had iiren invited to dinner at the home if one of the ranking Pharisees. But He was not there as an hon- -ired guest; at best He was there is an object of curiosity. All the -it-dinary gestures of friendship .iad' been passed over by the so- --aiied host, probably because he tanked upon Jesus as of inferior l'.flil('llI. He was heing consciously snubbed, There was a deliberate attempt to put Him ill at case. It was in the midst-of this travesty of social decorum that the Mag- dalen made her dramatic entrance. she had heard that He was in the Pharisee's house. Sihe broueiht with her .-i not of ointment. She took her place at the feet of Jesus. li'6Cfpl'i'V2L She washed H-"q feet uilh her tears. She dried them with her hair. she kissed them and anointed them with the ointment.

O 0 I

immediately, His host Ls scanda- iizcd. He thought to himself that 2! this Man were a prophet. He would know who this woman was. what kind of woman she was. A sinner.

Jesus read his thoughts. He speaks a word to him. Take two debtors. Grant that neither has the means of paying his debt. One UWDS his creditor 500 pieces of silver. the other owes him 50. The creditor forgives them both. which should love the creditor more? The answer is obvious. The one who owed the 500 pieces of HIVCI”. the our who was forgiven 'he greater rietbig This is the an- nrer that the host nave. Jesus commends him for it. But that is not all.

He tells His host to look at the woman. He also rebukes him. "I t-ii.-tie into thy house. and thou rzivt-st Me no iwiicr for Mv feet: .-he has wash"-i My feet with her traits and wiped them with her hair. Thou gavest Me no kiss of greetim; she has never ceased to kiss My feet. Tiioii riirist not nour oil on My lic:id- she has anointed -My font and with oiiiimcnt. And so. I tell thee. if great this have ht-en forgiven her. she has also great loved.”

O I 0

There is no doubt in the mind of Jesus of winch is the. greater character the more outstanding personality. It is the penitent Maiz- dnlen.

The sinful world, and all us sin- ners in it. needs the consolation of the sight of repentance. There is lots of remorse in the world to- day. The tragedy of remose is that it .does not become repentance

the consciousness of xin forgiven.i

We,.talk too much today of guilt- ridden consciences and consider too little the sin-forgiven con- sciences. The to er is a kind of closed-up world, he horror of our own selves. The latter is one that lg opened up by love: The Magdalen will always re- main a. symbol of authentic Chris- tianity, she is a symbol of all sin- ners. the very people Jesus came to save. We all share her sinful- ness. We should also share her re- pentance and love. '

. . 0 She, also, will forever stand as a. symbol of the kind of disposi- tions whloh'Jesus demand; of His followers. Luckily He does not de- mand that we be without sin. Otherwise the Magdalen would never have been able to approach Him. It is a comforting thing to know that it was to her that He first appeared on the morning of His Resurrection. She is the sign of sin forgiven and the sign of preparation for glory.

A final thing which should be brought before our eyes is the contrast of Christ and the Phari- see. The P'harlsee would stand aloof from the sinner. He would say to her: "Do not come near me because I am clean. Do not touch me, do not contaminate me." Like all Phariseeshe did not feel the need of a Saviour. Like all Phari- sees he makes religion either a maze of formalistic ritual or religi- ous do-nothingness. But the peni- tent Magdalen is motivated by love. she does thinrvs. She is no snlritual highbrow. She could and did hear the voice of Christ: "Come to Me all you that are heavily burdened and I will re- fresh you." The refreshment of Christ is only possible to those who realize how heavily their sins and their very selves welsh them down. It is to such that Christ can say: "Go thy way. thy sins are forgiven thee. Go in peace."
