Luke 10:38–42
Now as they went on their way, Jesus
entered a certain village, where a woman named Martha welcomed him into her
home. She had a sister named Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet and listened to
what he was saying. But Martha was distracted by her many tasks; so she came to
him and asked, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to do all the
work by myself? Tell her then to help me.” But the Lord answered her, “Martha,
Martha, you are worried and distracted by many things; there is need of only
one thing. Mary has chosen the better part, which will not be taken away from
her.”
Reflection
• Does
my keeping
busy become a preoccupation in itself and shield me from meeting the Lord?
• Do
I realize knowing
the Lord is what life is about?
