Soul Care Notes “She stood behind him weeping, and began to wet his feet with her tears. Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them, and poured perfume on them.” — Luke 7:36-50 In this episode of Sister Soul Care , we enter into the powerful story of the woman who anointed Jesus’ feet, using Imaginative Prayer (Ignatian Contemplation) to experience the passage in a deeply personal way. Through three perspectives—Simon the Pharisee, the woman, and our own—we reflect on love, forgiveness, and the invitation Jesus extends to each of us. What does it mean to be truly seen by Jesus? How does His love transform the places of shame in our lives? Join us as we step into this sacred moment and open our hearts to the mercy, grace, and healing presence of Christ. In This Episode: Entering the scene through Simon’s eyes —observing, judging, questioning. Experiencing the moment through the woman’s perspective —risking, weeping, worshiping. Placing ourselves in the story —receiving Jesus’ love and listening to what He is revealing. Join the Sister Soul Care Community at sistersoulcare.com…

“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” – Romans 8:38-39 Episode Summary In this episode, we step into Gomer’s story, reimagining her journey from shame to redemption.

Love Practice This week, spend time with the question: “What would it look like to trust God’s love completely?” Find a quiet space, and sit in stillness for five minutes, allowing God’s love to simply be present with you—without expectation or performance. Then, write a letter to yourself from God’s perspective. What does He want you to know about His love? About your worth? About why He chooses you—always? End your letter with a prayer of surrender, releasing any doubts about your worthiness and embracing God’s love as already yours.…
