July 20, 2025: "Martha and Mary: A Deeper Vision of Discipleship" with Stacy Theresa Geere
Description
Preaching for the Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Stacy Geere offers an empowering reflection on the story of Martha and Mary: "Martha and Mary are not rivals. They are reflections of the fullness of discipleship—service and contemplation, action and proclamation. They, along with other women of the Gospels, minister with Jesus and to Jesus. Their relationship reflects the very nature of our triune God, who invites us to equality, mutuality, unity and reciprocity."Stacy Geere is a spiritual director and Catholic lay minister whose work is shaped by a lifelong devotion to Gospel-centered pastoral care. She holds a Master of Arts in Theology from Loyola Marymount University and a Certificate in Spiritual Direction from Mount Saint Mary’s University in Los Angeles. Her education and formation nurtured a deep love for Ignatian spirituality and feminist Trinitarian ecclesiology.Visit www.catholicwomenpreach.org/preaching/07202025 to learn more about Stacy, to read her preaching text, and for more preaching from Catholic women.
