It restores a balance in our following of Christ. The story about being a neighbor could lead us to think that only if we are doing things are we loving God. Martha was a ‘doer’ to the point of being a fusspot. Martha, we are told…was distracted by her many tasks… Serving others is something that Jesus himself did constantly, and he urged his followers to do the same. But it should not be a burden or distraction. And, after Martha had complained about her sister, Jesus told her: …you are worried and distracted by many things… A true servant does not experience anxiety and worry because that signifies a lack of peace. Because Mary seemed to be doing nothing, Martha saw her as idling and even selfish. Martha must have been somewhat surprised when Jesus said that: Mary has chosen the better part, which will not be taken away from her. What was that better part? Wasn’t Mary just sitting at the feet of Jesus and doing nothing? No! We are told that she: …listened to what he was saying. The 16th Sunday in Ordinary Time LITURGY OF THE WORD 1st READING GENESIS 18:1-10a (Hospitality) Abraham extends hospitality and the Lord reveals that His promise to Abraham will be fulfilled.
