Lc 7, 36-50
En aquel tiempo, un fariseo invitó a Jesús a comer con él. Jesús fue a la casa del fariseo y se sentó a la mesa. Una mujer de mala vida en aquella ciudad, cuando supo que Jesús iba a comer ese día en casa del fariseo, tomó consigo un frasco de alabastro con perfume, fue y se puso detrás de Jesús, y comenzó a llorar, y con sus lágrimas bañaba sus pies; los enjugó con su cabellera, los besó y los ungió con el perfume.
Viendo esto, el fariseo que lo había invitado comenzó a pensar: "Si este hombre fuera profeta, sabría qué clase de mujer es la que lo está tocando; sabría que es una pecadora".
Entonces Jesús le dijo: "Simón, tengo algo que decirte". El fariseo contestó: "Dímelo, Maestro". El le dijo: "Dos hombres le debían dinero a un prestamista. Uno le debía quinientos denarios, y el otro, cincuenta. Como no tenían con qué pagarle, les perdonó la deuda a los dos. ¿Cuál de ellos lo amará más?" Simón le respondió: "Supongo que aquel a quien le perdonó más".
Entonces Jesús le dijo: "Has juzgado bien". Luego, señalando a la mujer, dijo a Simón: "¿Ves a esta mujer? Entré en tu casa y tú no me ofreciste agua para los pies, mientras que ella me los ha bañado con sus lágrimas y me los ha enjugado con sus cabellos. Tú no me diste el beso de saludo; ella, en cambio, desde que entró, no ha dejado de besar mis pies. Tú no ungiste con aceite mi cabeza; ella, en cambio, me ha ungido los pies con perfume. Por lo cual, yo te digo: sus pecados, que son muchos, le han quedado perdonados, porque ha amado mucho. En cambio, al que poco se le perdona, poco ama". Luego le dijo a la mujer: "Tus pecados te han quedado perdonados".
Los invitados empezaron a preguntarse a sí mismos: "¿Quién es éste que hasta los pecados perdona?" Jesús le dijo a la mujer: "Tu fe te ha salvado; vete en paz"

GospelLK 7:36-50
A certain Pharisee invited Jesus to dine with him,
and he entered the Pharisee's house and reclined at table.
Now there was a sinful woman in the city
who learned that he was at table in the house of the Pharisee.
Bringing an alabaster flask of ointment,
she stood behind him at his feet weeping
and began to bathe his feet with her tears.
Then she wiped them with her hair,
kissed them, and anointed them with the ointment.
When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this he said to himself,
"If this man were a prophet,
he would know who and what sort of woman this is who is touching him,
that she is a sinner."
Jesus said to him in reply,
"Simon, I have something to say to you."
"Tell me, teacher," he said.
"Two people were in debt to a certain creditor;
one owed five hundred days' wages and the other owed fifty.
Since they were unable to repay the debt, he forgave it for both.
Which of them will love him more?"
Simon said in reply,
"The one, I suppose, whose larger debt was forgiven."
He said to him, "You have judged rightly."
Then he turned to the woman and said to Simon,
"Do you see this woman?
When I entered your house, you did not give me water for my feet,
but she has bathed them with her tears
and wiped them with her hair.
You did not give me a kiss,
but she has not ceased kissing my feet since the time I entered.
You did not anoint my head with oil,
but she anointed my feet with ointment.
So I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven;
hence, she has shown great love.
But the one to whom little is forgiven, loves little."
He said to her, "Your sins are forgiven."
The others at table said to themselves,
"Who is this who even forgives sins?"
But he said to the woman,
"Your faith has saved you; go in peace."
and he entered the Pharisee's house and reclined at table.

Meditacion:
Leyendo este evangelio me pregunto si seriamos capaces de sentarnos a la mesa con personas que no piensen como nosotros... es mas, con personas que piensan que estamos equivocados y que deben matarnos... Jesus lo hizo, un fariseo lo invito y El no discrimino, fue a su casa....
Y lo que pasa en la casa del fariseo nos describe a muchos de nosotros, que nos decimos comprometidos con la Iglesia, que vamos a misa, nos confesamos y pensamos que estamos haciendo bien a los demas....
Una prostituta se le acerca y comienza a lavar sus pies con sus lagrimas y ungirlos, gesto reservado a personas de gran importancia (VIP diriamos hoy dia).
E inmediatamente la humanidad del fariseo se hace presente, esa humanidad que nos impide ver a cada uno de nuestros hermanos como a otra alma, merecedora de lo mejor que podemos darle...
A mi me ha tocado ver muchas veces el dolor del pecado, las lagrimas de la pesadumbre de muchas almas y de repente, la alegria del perdon y del saber que nuevamente somos Hijos de Dios porque somor perdonados...
Dios perdona al corazon sincero, sea este un adicto o un buen padre, todos tenemos derecho al perdon divino.
Y de paso, Jesus da muestra de esto al fariseo... tu no me ofreciste agua para los pies, ella no ha parado de lavarlo con sus lagrimas...
Dios es Dios de misericordia, de perdón. Dios es amor y sólo el que ama mucho es capaz de perdonar mucho. Así es Jesús. Así es Dios. Y asi debemos ser nosotros, capaces del perdon al que nos hace mal.
Por eso no conviene olvidar que el Cristo resucitado de que habla San Pablo es este mismo Jesús que en sus palabras y gestos manifiesta y revela a Dios. Amen

Reading this gospel I wonder if we would be able to sit at the table with people who do not think like us ... more, with people who think we are wrong and should kill us ... Jesus did it, a Pharisee invited him and I do not discriminate, he went to his house ...
And what happens in the house of the Pharisee describes many of us, who say we are committed to the Church, we go to mass, we confess and we think we are doing good to others ....
A prostitute approaches her and begins to wash her feet with her tears and anoint them, a gesture reserved for people of great importance (VIP we would say today).
And immediately the humanity of the Pharisee is present, that humanity that prevents us from seeing each of our brothers as another soul, worthy of the best we can give ...
I have often seen the pain of sin, the tears of the sorrow of many souls and suddenly, the joy of forgiveness and the knowledge that we are again Sons of God because we are forgiven ...
God forgives the sincere heart, be it an addict or a good father, we all have the right to divine forgiveness.
And by the way, Jesus shows this to the Pharisee ... you did not offer me water for my feet, she has not stopped washing it with her tears ...
God is God of mercy, of forgiveness. God is love and only he who loves much is capable of forgiving a lot. This is Jesus. This is God. And so we must be, capable of forgiveness to those who do us wrong.
That is why it is not convenient to forget that the risen Christ of whom St. Paul speaks is this same Jesus who in his words and gestures manifests and reveals God. Amen
