Reflections with Fr. Michael Kelly - Tuesday 5 Oct, 2021
Martha’s objection to the apparent laziness or at least irresponsibility of her sister in paying attention to serving their guests and asking Jesus to correct her behavior produces from Jesus one of the sharpest lessons in just what discipleship asks of Jesus follower - keep and focused attention to discipleship rather than the routines, as in this case, of hospitality. Putting the service of Jesus ahead of all that shows how the key priority of serving God first and above all must prevail in our following of Jesus.
