Evening: Psalm 35; Ezra 3:1-13; Luke 10:38-42
Mary of Bethany and Martha, her sister, are friends of Jesus. Mary is famous for sitting at Jesus’s feet listening to him while Martha complains that Mary is not helping with the chores. Jesus responds: “Martha, Martha (there is deep love in his repetition of her name), Mary has made the right choice.” Sitting at Jesus’s feet, literally or metaphorically, is where we learn the essence of love, hospitality and welcome ... from the one who prepares a spacious place of welcome for all. Sometimes even our deep moral convictions prevent us from seeing the better Way that Jesus embodies.
