62. Mary herself pours ointment on the feet of the Lord Jesus. S. John xii. 3. Perchance for this reason on His feet, because one of the lowliest has been snatched from death, for we are all the body of Christ, 1 Cor. xii. 27. but others perchance are the more honourable members. The Apostle was the mouth of Christ, for he said, “Ye seek a proof of Christ that speaketh in me.” 2 Cor. xiii. 3. The prophets through whom He spake of things to come were His mouth, would that I might be found worthy to be His foot, and may Mary pour on me her precious ointment, and anoint me and wipe away my sin.
