Holy Monday: Love That Pours Itself Out

Holy Monday: Love That Pours Itself Out 🌿✨

After the palms and hosannas of Palm Sunday, Holy Monday leads us somewhere quieter — but no less intense. In today’s reflection, we step into Bethany, where Mary pours out perfume worth nearly a year’s wages on Jesus in an act of extravagant love, and into the Temple, where Jesus overturns the tables and clears away what does not belong.

One scene smells like fragrance. The other sounds like wood hitting the floor. 🌿🪵

But both reveal the same thing: real love does not stay measured, guarded, or transactional. Real love pours itself out, and real love lets itself be purified.

In this Holy Monday episode of From Hosanna to Alleluia, we reflect on what it means to offer Jesus something beautiful without counting the cost — and what it means to let Him overturn whatever has crowded the place in us where deeper worship was meant to be. 💛

If Palm Sunday was the parade, Holy Monday is the heart check.

In this episode:

✨ Mary’s extravagant love in Bethany

✨ Judas and the mindset that calls devotion “waste”
✨ Jesus cleansing the Temple
✨ Why love and purification belong together
✨ The invitation to let Jesus clear space in our hearts this Holy Week

Opening Scripture:

“She has done a beautiful thing to me.” — Mark 14:6 📖

A question to carry into prayer:

What am I pouring out for Jesus — and what am I still refusing to let Him overturn? 🤍
