Today’s Readings remind me of Ecclesiastes Chapter 3, especially verse 1. Abraham, Sarah, Paul and Martha were good servants to the Lord, Mary was not. “There is an appointed time for everything”. Jesus seems point out when being a good servant isn’t as important as “…only one thing…” and that is the time spent being with God.

Mark

I have learnt a lot from the perspective of Martha and Mary and need to make adjustments.

I am a Reg. Social Worker in the Philippines (Retired). I joined a charismatic community, Women For Christ in 1992 for spirituality in my service. It was also this time when I worked in Good Shepherd Parish with the Society of African Mission priests. The profession and the teachings of the Church are of the same in the belief in the inherent worth & dignity of an individual and in principles in helping. This gospel of Luke is one which I usually chose in Bible sharing, usually the Lumko steps with mothers in my empowering program. Your reflections on today’s readings and gospel amazed me. They provide what are necessary for spirituality and service. I look forward to reading more. Thank you.

I always thought I was the only Martha out there. Thank you for the spiritual insight so I hopefully become a Mary-Martha

Lawrence. I am always looking forward for your Sunday reflection. I have so much to ponder about. But what touched me most is what you said about establishing a good relationship with God before serving others. How can i mirror God’s love if i haven’t had a deeper relationship with Him? I’ll reflect on that. God bless you.
