Today's meditation is based on Isaiah 42 Canon Grace writes: Jesus patiently heals what is bruised in us and nurtures any light within us, however dimly it burns. In a world that cries out for justice, we cry out for mercy and healing What is your prayer to this servant of light of justice today?

Reflecting on today's Gospel (Jn 12.1–11) the Venerable Karen Smeeton writes: Mary pours out a generous, loving response to Jesus without calculation -and this flows out beyond. Her devotion fills the whole space. How do I respond to Jesus, and what fragrance does my life leave in the places I go?
