You Worry And Fret

Today's Gospel : Luke 10:38 - 42

In the course of their journey Jesus came to a village, and a woman named Martha welcomed him into her house. She had a sister called Mary, who sat down at the Lord’s feet and listened to him speaking. Now Martha who was distracted with all the serving said, ‘Lord, do you not care that my sister is leaving me to do the serving all by myself? Please tell her to help me.’ But the Lord answered: ‘Martha, Martha,’ he said ‘you worry and fret about so many things, and yet few are needed, indeed only one. It is Mary who has chosen the better part; it is not to be taken from her.’

This verse is often cited as an example of the actice and contemplative life. While both are commendable, Christ is a saying only one is needed. To sit at the feet of God and listen. Peace to you.
