To be called a perfectionist, it means that there are few connotations.
On the one hand, a perfectionist can be expected to deliver a near flawless piece of work, with every crack and gap and corner checked.
On the other hand, a perfectionist can come across as demanding and even oppressive.
So as much as a perfectionist is efficient and effective, it is always task-oriented.
Jesus is our Saviour. He came to save sinners from their sin.
He came not to fulfill a task. He came to fulfill a mission.
The 1st reading describes the Saviour as such:
“He does not cry out or shout aloud, or makes his voice heard in the streets.
He does not break the crushed reed, nor quench the wavering flame.”
Jesus carried out His mission of salvation with love, mercy and compassion.
He did not agree with Judas for his criticism on Mary for what she did for Him.
May we learn from Jesus that the perfection that we need to strive for is the compassion for those who are crushed and wavering.
