BULLETIN BITES!

“Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me by

myself to do the serving?”

When Jesus visits the home of Martha and Mary the

two sisters take completely different courses of action.

Martha begins to prepare food and refreshments for

her guest. Mary gives her full attention to what Jesus

has to say. Both are doing a good thing. Martha is ful-

filling the responsibility of a good host according to the

custom of her time by caring for the visitor to her

home. Mary is demonstrating her strong interest in

what Jesus has to teach her. When Martha complains

to Jesus that her sister is not helping her to do the

serving, Jesus says that Mary has chosen the better

part. Jesus is not criticizing Martha for performing her

duty as a host for a guest. But he is saying that his mes-

sage is important and that it is good for Mary and oth-

ers to learn from him. Jesus certainly appreciated the

meal Martha was preparing for him, but his response

to her means that spiritual food is more important

than physical food.

We must care for our spiritual life, then

care for our physical life.

Which life do we care about the most?

July 21 — Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Luke 10:38-42: Jesus visits the home of Mary

and Martha, which shows us a picture of the two

“parts” of life. Life is always about these two

“parts”: prayer and study; hospitality and action

(service).

Mary and Martha each showed their friendship with

Jesus in different ways. How did Mary show it? How

did Martha show it?

Do you think they could each learn from the other

one?

What do you think Martha was anxious or worried

about?

What are some things you (or people today) worry

about?

When are you like Mary? When are you like Martha?

My time to pray and listen to God is __________.

When are you hospitable/welcoming to others?

When have you “served” someone else?

What kind of actions for Jesus can you do this week?

Parents are the primary educators

of their children!!
