16 th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Martha was distracted.
With much serving.
We become heated.
At others not working.

Lord , do you not care.
That my sister had left me to serve alone.
We worry not about ourselves but how others fare.
We’re always ready to bemoan.

But what comes before working.
Perhaps praying.
Meditating.
Praising.

Why be anxious.
Troubled and vexatious.

…….

Are we like Martha
Or do we pray like Mary
What’s the better way

……

See Luke 10 : 38-42
