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.

What did Martha do that it did not get the merit of Jesus? Martha was busy preparing food for Jesus. Why did Jesus not favor Martha when what she was doing was for His honor also? Jesus is a preacher and perhaps being a preacher he wants people to listen to Him so that He could impart His wisdom. This was perhaps the reason why Jesus preferred the reverent act of Mary.
What happens
to us when we listen to Jesus and when we meditate on His words? We gain wisdom
from Jesus himself and we are enlightened by Him no less. But do we still have
time to listen to Jesus? Are we not very busy with our many worldly
undertakings?
Some of us may say that we have to move and be busy because we have to earn otherwise we’ll get hungry. Yes, this is true, but what would happen to us if we are all work? If we have no more time to listen to Jesus or if Jesus is just a minuscule entity in our lives? - Marino J. Dasmarinas
