The Gospel for Tuesday of the 27th week in Ordinary Time is taken from Luke 10th chapter 38 to the 42nd verse. 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. 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. The Gospel calls us both to reflection, pondering, wondering as well as doing, achieving things. It’s two things that have to be intertwined so that Martha and Mary are the perfect example of the way in which God longs for us to use his wisdom, his insight that he will give to us in the silence of our heart in order to keep us from all the anxiety and worry that we often get engaged in as we try to do what the Gospel calls us to do. Satan Sa Closing Prayer Father Action and contemplation, two very important parts of who we are. With you, bless us with the balance, bless us with the courage.

And we ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
