LISTEN The first reading tells of the annunciation of the birth of Isaac. It is profoundly mysterious, beginning with the appearance of the three men. This reading illustrates Gods active role in our history. The second reading treats a universal experiencesuffering. Paul sees suffering as the mark of discipleship. He finds joy in the suffering he endures because it is for the sake of the church. Through his preaching he hopes all people will come to accept Christ. The Gospel paints a lovely picture of Jesus at rest among his friends. Luke has placed the incident right after the parable of the Good Samaritan. But lest activism be seen as the only path, we now hear Jesus call to sit quietly and listen to the word of God. We have to be like both of the sisters. Even in our harried and noisy world, there is an insistent call to sit back quietly and listen to Jesus. J. S. Paluch Co.

Martha, Martha, you worry and fret about so many things, and yet few are needed, indeed only one. It is Mary who has chosen the better part, it is not to be taken from her. (Luke 10:41-42)
You tell me that you do your work well, you dont harm anyone, so you are a good Christian, although you admit that you dont pray. I would like to ask you, If you do your work well, you dont harm anyone, but you dont pray, what is the difference between you and a computer? No difference. Computers work well, harm no one, and dont pray. We can get so busy that we forget what life is all about. We can get so involved in pursuing the things money can buy that we forget the things money cant buy. Jesus never said to work always, but he did say to pray always. We are not meant to be workaholics. We are sons and daughters of God since baptism. We could not be more privileged. It is a pity to see work reducing us sometimes to the level of computers. Martha was distracted with all the serving while Mary sat at Jesus feet listening to him. No doubt Martha would describe herself as someone who did her work well and didnt harm anyone. But it did not bring her peace of mind; she was vexed with her sister and Jesus was not entirely satisfied with her either: Martha, Martha, you worry and fret about so many things, and yet few are needed, indeed only one. It is Mary who has chosen the better part, it is not to be taken from her. (Luke 10:41-42) Clearly working well and harming no one is not nearly as good as also spending time with Jesus. Martha learned that Jesus would be much happier if she spent time with him rather than running all over the house. Perhaps we could express this in a more mundane way; we would be much more pleasing to Jesus if we spent time with him in prayer every day as well as doing good, rather than being a do gooder who does not pray. Or again perhaps we could express it in this way; we are called to be Christians - people in relationship with Christ - and not just do gooders. I would like to encourage you to spend a substantial amount of time in prayer every day. Two minutes, three minutes, or five minutes is not enough. I believe God calls Christians to pray for hours every day. It is great to see so many who spend one hour before Jesus in the Eucharist in the Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration Chapels. Time spend in prayer is not time wasted. It is the most fruitful time of all. No one would say that prayer is easy, but it is certainly rewarding. We live such busy lives that sometimes we might not even be aware of what is really going on deep within us. We only become aware when we take the time to quieten down and pray. Usually people call the awareness during prayer of what is happening deep within them distractions, but these distractions are often messages to help us get our lives in order. Distractions can be of many kinds. If something painful from the past keeps popping into our head during prayer, that may signal that God wants to give us the grace of healing that wound in prayer. That wound is an obstacle to our friendship with God and needs to be healed. Then ask God in prayer to heal that wound. Whatever emotions or desires arise in our mind during prayer may be a message to us to bring that matter before the Lord in prayer to get it resolved in prayer. When you notice yourself becoming distracted you can look at the picture or candle again. Reading a few verses from the Bible would help you to concentrate again. Whatever way we occupy the mad man in the attic the important thing is to meet Jesus in prayer. If we really meet Jesus in prayer we will be uplifted and much better afterwards. By Fr. T. Lane
