A Huge 'Thank You' to Dublin City Council for the restoration work on the pillars gates and lamps at our church.
As they went on their way, he entered a certain village, where a woman named Martha welcomed him into her home. She had a sister named Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and listened to what he was saying. But Martha was distracted by her many tasks; so she came to him and asked, "Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to do all the work by myself? Tell her then to help me." But the Lord answered her, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and distracted by many things; there is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part, which will not be taken away from her."
Thought for the Day
When
Martha complained to Jesus that Mary was leaving her to do all the work,
she expected that he would solve the problem. Instead he pointed out to
Martha that the problem was not the amount of work she had to do, but
that she had allowed herself to be taken up with things, that in the
bigger picture were not really that important. There are times when
people make demands on us and pressurise us into thinking that what they
want from us is all important. We need to be able to stand back and take
a good look at what really is important in our lives. An ability to
listen, as opposed to just hearing is essential if we are to engage
personally with the Word of God - Jesus. Other things will just have to
take second place.
