## Resource

Let’s take a moment to draw inspiration from a powerful gospel story in Luke, where Jesus shares a meal at the home of Simon, a Pharisee. In this scene, we witness two very different responses to Jesus: Simon, who sits in judgment, and a humble woman who brings her heart and tears to wash Jesus’ feet. Imagine the pull of a magnet—the way those who sense their need for grace are irresistibly drawn to the compassion of Christ. It’s not the number of mistakes we’ve made that matters most, but the depth of our love and the authenticity of our regrets that open the door to God’s forgiveness.This story reminds us that when we bravely admit our flaws, we invite healing and joy into our lives. Let’s allow our own honesty and humility to connect us with the peace that comes from being fully accepted and loved.
