The story of the weeping woman appears in all four Gospels. The main objection raised in the other three Gospels was the use of expensive ointment. As she checked her appearance one last time, she noticed that her shoes looked dingy, so she gave them a fast swipe with the paper towel she had used to blot the bacon she had for breakfast. When she arrived at the impressive home, she was greeted by the parents and their much-beloved, but rotten-tempered poodle. Climbing to heaven on one's own ladder is an illusion. When we hurt the people we love, either physically or emotionally, we are sorry to the point of tears, just like the woman. She was sorry to the point of tears.
