Reflection Martha and Mary
Jesus visits the house of Martha and Mary. Martha
busies herself with the serving while Mary puts herself
at the feet of Jesus and listens to him speaking.
Martha is irked by her sister’s failure of help
but Jesus tells Martha that Mary has taken the better
part and that it is not to be taken from her. For
us, this Gospel is an invitation to set down patterns
in our lives where, we too, like Mary, choose the
better part. On a practical level, that involves creating
space each day for quality time with God through prayer.
In the silence of this encounter with Him, God speaks
to each of us. Through time and perseverance we learn
to listen to Him and attune ourselves to His voice.

We pray for the recently deceased;
Bernie Collins, Derry;
Tony Dooris, Featherbed Glade;
Sr Jacinta Corrigan, Convent of Mercy,

Sr Dolores Corr, Convent of Mercy,
