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:
Jesús es el maestro de los contrastes. Y Lucas un experto en ponerlos de relieve. En el evangelio de hoy aparecen dos amigos de Jesús: uno, varón, con nombre propio (Simón); otro, mujer, sin nombre (conocida como “pecadora”). A partir de esta primera caracterización podemos ir construyendo una lista de contrates:
El fariseo Simón invita a Jesús a su casa, pero no lo toca, mantiene las distancias de seguridad. Admira a Jesús, pero no sabe bien quién es (“si fuera profeta”) y no acaba de fiarse. Procura ser cortés, pero se mantiene en su posición, no se entrega.
La mujer pecadora da el primer paso: se introduce en la casa. Besa y unge a Jesús con perfume y lágrimas. No pierde el tiempo en averiguar “quién es”: se entrega sin condiciones. No justifica su conducta. Deja que fluyan las lágrimas. No pronuncia palabra. Su cuerpo entero se hace palabra.
¿Es necesario pensar mucho para saltar a la arena de nuestra propia vida? El inextinguible fariseo que llevamos dentro no para de hacer preguntas para retrasar el momento de la rendición y la entrega. Puede que presumamos de ser despiertos y buscadores. Pero la mayor parte de las veces somos solo cobardes. Menos preguntas y más donación. Menos sospechas y más lágrimas. Entonces la luz llega.
“Amado Jesús, ¡qué misericordioso eres! Te amo porque me has amado tan completa y perfectamente. Enséñame a compartir tu palabra con mis amigos y conocidos y expresar tu amor en acciones de bondad y reconciliación.” Amen

esus is the master of contrasts. And Lucas an expert in highlighting them. In today's Gospel two friends of Jesus appear: one, male, with his own name (Simon); another, woman, without a name (known as “sinner”). From this first characterization we can build a list of contrasts:
The Pharisee Simon invites Jesus to his house, but does not touch him, he maintains safety distances. He admires Jesus, but he does not know well who he is ("if he were a prophet") and does not just trust. Try to be courteous, but stay in position, not delivered.
The sinful woman takes the first step: she enters the house. Kiss and anoint Jesus with perfume and tears. Do not waste time finding out "who is": delivered without conditions. It does not justify his behavior. Let the tears flow. He doesn't say a word. His whole body becomes a word.
Is it necessary to think hard to jump into the sand of our own life? The inextinguishable Pharisee inside us does not stop asking questions to delay the moment of surrender and surrender. We may boast being awake and seekers. But most of the time we are just cowards. Less questions and more donation. Less suspicion and more tears. Then the light comes.
“Beloved Jesus, how merciful you are! I love you because you have loved me so completely and perfectly. Teach me to share your word with my friends and acquaintances and express your love in actions of kindness and reconciliation. ”Amen
