Description

Why doesn't Jesus feel sorry for Martha in today's gospel reading, who is working so hard all by herself? This is another example from the scriptures of Jesus giving us, not what we want, but what we need. While there may be many things to get done, let us be open to the voice of God, and always put God in first place.
