Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
17 July 2016
"You are anxious. One thing is needful.”
Reading 1:
Galatians 18: 1-10A
Responsorial Psalm:
Psalm 15: 2-3, 3-4, 5
Reading 2:
Colossians 1: 24-28
Gospel:
Luke 10: 38-42
Gospel Reading: Luke 10: 38-42
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.”
The Lord said to her in reply, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things. There is
need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part and it will not be taken from her.”
Meditation:
Does the peace of Christ reign in your home and in your personal life? Jesus loved to visit the home of Martha
and Mary and enjoyed their gracious hospitality. In this brief encounter we see two very different
temperaments in Martha and Mary. Martha loved to serve, but in her anxious manner of waiting on Jesus, she
caused unrest. Mary, in her simple and trusting manner, waited on Jesus by sitting attentively at his feet. She
instinctively knew that what the Lord and Teacher most wanted at that moment was her attentive presence.
Give your concerns and pre-occupations to the Lord
Anxiety and preoccupation keep us from listening and from giving the Lord our undivided attention. The
Lord bids us to give him our concerns and anxieties because he is trustworthy and able to meet any need we
have. His grace frees us from needless concerns and preoccupation. Do you seek the Lord attentively? Does
the Lord find a welcomed and honored place in your home?
Always welcome the Lord into your home and heart
The Lord Jesus desires that we make a place for him, in our hearts, in our homes and in our lives as well. We
honor the Lord when we offer to him everything we have and everything we do. After all, everything we have
is an outright gift from God (1 Chronicles 29:14). Paul the Apostle urges us to give God glory in everything:
"Whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the
Father through him" (Colossians 3:17).
Remember that the Lord Jesus is also the guest of your home. Scripture tells us that when Abraham opened
his home and welcomed three unknown travelers, he welcomed the Lord who blessed him favorably for his
gracious hospitality (Genesis 18:1-10; Hebrews 13:2). The Lord wants us to bring him glory in the way we
treat others and use the gifts he has graciously given to us. God, in turn, blesses us with his gracious presence
and fills us with joy.
Questions for Community Faith Sharing:
 In what ways do you sometimes find yourself busy, upset, and troubled like Martha? Have this
impacted people around you? How did they react to you?
 What patterns and practices could you institute in your daily life that would make you more like
Mary?
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
"Lord Jesus, to be in your presence is life and joy for me. Free me from
needless concerns and preoccupations that I may give you my undiv ided love
and attention."
