A FRESH PERSPECTIVE ON THE SUNDAY READINGS His Word Today by Rev. William J. Reilly Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time July 17, 2016 “Jesus entered a village where a woman whose name was Martha welcomed him. She had a sister named Mary who sat beside the Lord at his feet listening to him speak. Martha burdened with much serving, came to him and said. ‘Lord do you not care that my sister has left me by myself to do the serving? Tell her to help me.” A mark of many religious communities is the gift of hospitality. Like Abraham, and the family of Bethany, being a host was something special. In both cases, the guests were truly special. The conversations became more telling than the visit itself. Perhaps the anxiety of receiving the Lord made Martha nervous. Surely she wanted things to be nice for the Lord and needed Mary’s help. As she complained, Jesus responded, praising the importance of Mary’s role as listener. How well do I listen to the needs of others. Someone might be hurting and they need to vent. Someone might be overjoyed at some good news, and by sharing it they double it. Hospitality, the gift of receiving others with their hopes and hurts, with their joys and sorrows, with their wants and needs, enables others to find the Lord Himself. It is a gift that costs little, but has great rewards. Know a Marriage That Needs Help: Throw them a lifeline and tell them about Retrouvaille, an international program that helps couples who are experiencing marital difficulties. This program is for all couples, at any stage of marriage that needs help to communicate with each other in a more attentive and loving manner. The next program in the Scranton Diocese begins August. 26-28, 2016, at The Ramada Inn, Clarks Summit, PA.
