Sunday Reading (Reflection)

In Church today, Father Raymond shared about the verses from Luke 10: 38-42. This verses tell us about the story when Jesus came to a village by which Martha and Mary served Him in two different ways. When Jesus visits Martha and Mary, Martha serves Him and sees to his needs whilst Mary chooses to be with Jesus, enjoying his presence and company.

Jesus does not reproach Martha but only cautions her not to be too anxious and weighed down by cares of this world. Both Martha and Mary serve Jesus in their own way.

Doing our household chores with humility and love can be beautiful moments of prayer. But leaving our cares and worries, pausing to listen to Jesus and His word can give us much nourishment, something that we need as Christians.

God Bless.
