Jesus is Anointed for Death
\n<\/strong>Isaiah 43:16-21
\nPsalm 126
\nPhilippians 3:4b-14
\nJohn 12:1-8<\/p>\n

Mary took a pound of costly perfume made of pure nard, anointed Jesus\u2019 feet, and wiped them with her hair. The house was filled with fragrance of the perfume.
\n-John 12:3<\/p>\n

May those who sow in tears reap with shouts of joy.
\nThose who go out weeping, bearing the seed for sowing,
\nshall come home with shouts of joy, carrying their sheaves.
\n-Psalm 126:5-6<\/p>\n

Prayer
\n<\/strong>O Christ, we give thanks for Mary and all your disciples whose faith and witness guide our Lenten pilgrimage. May the outpouring of your abundant grace embolden us as we urge our elected officials to end hunger. Amen<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Action
\n<\/strong>More than three-quarters of the world\u2019s poorest people depend on farming for their livelihood. Increasing agricultural productivity in Africa and elsewhere is the long-term solution to drought and famine.
