Father Philip discusses the contrast between Mary's gift and Judas's betrayal, along with a reflection on the donkey Jesus rode into Jerusalem.

Father Philip discusses the contrast between Mary's extravagant gift given out of love and self-sacrificial hospitality with Judas's monetizing her gift, turning his back on the Lord, and his ultimate betrayal. He follows this with a brief reflection on the donkey Jesus rode into Jerusalem and how it proclaims the Gospel. Passages discussed: Philippians 4:4-9; John 12:1-18.
