Fourteenth Sunday of the Pentecost Season.

الأحد الرابع عشَر من زمن العنصرة.
30 آب سنة 2009
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 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.
