Episode Details

Today, we meet Martha and Mary at their home with Jesus as their guest. The two present to us two different ways of living our lives here on earth. We know that our stay here on earth is a preparation to be with God for eternity. Martha felt harassed and anxious about her working compounded by being alone without Mary not realizing she could be helping her. She asked Jesus for help. But the Lord helped her realize that Mary was fine listening to Him. He pointed out that Mary was agitated because she was missing something essential which was what Mary was doing, namely, her awareness of being with Jesus and listening to Him. That was the only thing necessary, that she in her concern shown in preparing to be hospitable with the Lord, she was not praying like her sister was.
