Fourteenth Sunday of the Pentecost Season St. Romanos’ Feast
Gospel: Luke 10: 38 – 42
Readings: 1 Thessalonians 2: 1 – 13 This Sunday’s Gospel takes us to the house of Lazarus to witness the welcome for Jesus by Martha and her sister Mary. Martha is busy with the service, but Mary sat at Jesus’ feet to listen to his words. Jesus insists on the importance of listening to the Gospel, “Mary has chosen the better part, which will not be taken away from her.”
We see Mary and Martha in Luke’s Gospel on the way to Jerusalem with Jesus. We also find them in John’s Gospel and they carry the same qualities with a special role for Martha who repeated what was said by Peter: “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” She revealed Jesus’ identity. In Luke’s Gospel she seems only worried about the service.
She wants her sister Mary to help her. For this reason, Jesus’ answer carried a little blame: “Martha, Martha, you are worried and distracted by many things.” Jesus praised Mary: “Mary has chosen the better part, which will not be taken away from her.”

The Birth of Mary, September 8
Along with the birth of Jesus and St. John the Baptist, Mary’s birth has been celebrated by the Church from early times. In fourth-century Jerusalem a feast of her birth was celebrated at the Church of St. Anne. Probably inspiring the Church of Rome also to celebrate too, this event. Mary’s birth is seen always as part of God’s plan for the salvation of the world through Jesus Christ.
O Mary, you are blessed, for the mysteries of the prophets are fulfilled in you. You were in the burning bush and in the cloud that Moses saw; you were on the ladder rising up to heaven that Ezekiel saw; you were in the Ark of the Covenant, that David saw. At your birth these mysteries are fulfilled. Glory to the Father, who sent his only Son through you.
