Blessing: John 12: 1-8

Here’s a blessing inspired by the anointing of Jesus (see Matthew 26:6-13, Mark 14:3-9, Luke 7:36-50, John 12:1-8).  It was written by Jan L. Richardson.

 

Blessing of Balm

(inspired by Matthew 26:6-13, Mark 14:3-9, Luke 7:36-50, John 12:1-8)

When we see

the body of Christ

still broken in this world,

may we meet it

with lavish grace

and pour ourselves out

with extravagant love.
