Words of Jesus: Tuesday, March 24, 2026

Luke 10:38-42   “Now as they went on their way, he entered a village; and a woman named Martha received him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and listened to his teaching. But Martha was distracted with much serving; and she went to him and said, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me.” But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things; one thing is needful. Mary has chosen the good portion, which shall not be taken away from her.””

 RSV

Mary had chosen the “good portion”.  How should one describe the “good portion”?  Mary sat at the Lord’s feet and listened to His teachings.  Let us take these morning readings of Jesus’ words and works, to “sit a Jesus’ feet and listen to His teachings”.
