And Jesus answered and said to him: Simon, I have some thing to say to you. He replied: Teacher, say on. A certain creditor had two debtors; the one owed him five hundred denarii, the other, fifty. But as they had nothing to pay, he forgave them both. Which of them, then, will love him the more? read more.
Simon answered and said: I suppose he to whom he forgave the more. He said to him: You have decided correctly. And turning toward the woman, he said to Simon: Do you see this woman? I entered your house, you gave me no water for my feet; but she has washed my feet with her tears, and wiped them with her hair. You gave me no kiss; but she, from the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet. You did not anoint my head with oil; but she has anointed my feet with ointment. Wherefore, I say to you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much. But he to whom little is forgiven, loves little. And he said to her: Your sins are forgiven.

Psalm 91:9-16

John 16:19-27

Then Jesus knew that they wished to ask him; and he said to them: Are you inquiring of one another about this, because I said, A little while and you will not see me; and again, a little while, and you will see me? Verily, verily I say to you, you shall weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. A woman, when she is in labor, has sorrow, be cause her hour has come; but when the child is born, she no longer remembers the pain, for joy that a man is born into the world. read more.
You, therefore, have sorrow now; but I shall see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one takes from you. And in that day you shall ask nothing of me; verily, verily I say to you, whatever you ask of the Father in my name, he will give you. Till this time you have asked for nothing in my name; ask, and you shall receive, that your joy may be full. These things I have spoken to you in parables; the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in parables, but will teach you plainly concerning the Father. In that day you shall ask in my name; and I say not to you, that I will ask the Father in your behalf; for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came forth from God.
