where they serve their God,

10th SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST

Gospel: Luke 10:38-42 - 11:27-28

True Blessedness

At that time Jesus came to a 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 said, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to do all the work by myself? Tell her to come and help me.” The Lord answered her: “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and upset about many things, when only one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the better part, and it will not be taken away from her.”

While he was speaking, a woman in the crowd called out to him and said, “Blessed is the womb that bore you and the breasts that nursed you!” Jesus replied, “Blessed, rather, are those who hear the word of God and obey it!”

The incident is intended to teach that the disciples of Jesus must not allow secondary things to take precedence over essentials, namely, the hearing of the Word of God in order to feed on it and put it into practice.

The happiness of the kingdom of God is open to those who accept the Word of Jesus. This is a warning to adversaries who reject it. Thus, the true grandeur of Mary is in having welcomed His message.

True blessings come from aligning our actions with the teachings of God. We show our faith and commitment to following His will in our lives by obeying the word of God. It is not enough to passively hear the teachings; we must actively apply them in our thoughts, words, and deeds. Imagine the transformation that could occur in our lives if we not only listened to God’s word but also lived it out daily.
