A Reflection from Marriage Matters (www.twoinoneflesh.org.uk) for this Sunday
Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time (Genesis 18:1-10; Colossians 1:24-28; Luke 10:38-42)
Choosing ‘the better part’ is listening
The Gospel relates the different ways Martha and Mary behaved. We too can fall into such patterns of behaviour. It’s human nature to “worry and fret over so many things”. Today’s Scripture calls us to really listen, then, like Mary, we can choose “the better part”. Let us recommit today to deepening our level of listening in our marriage.
