MARY & MARTHA: FINDING THAT “BETTER PART”
“Martha, Martha…”
I always want to jump to Martha’s defense when I read Jesus’ response to her complaint. Her sister has left her to do all the work, and the Lord seems to dismiss her worry. “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried,” he says. “There is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part and it will not be taken from her” (Luke 10:41-42).
“Christ with Martha and Mary” by Mikh

“Every Holy Saturday, the Church waits as it were beside the tomb, meditating on Christ's death while awaiting the announcement of his resurrection. Like John, we can take Mary into our homes and ponder with her the last words of Christ. Like her, we can rest in a place between anguish and joy, waiting in quiet hope. We can pray the Divine Office, which parts the veil to show us Christ defeating death and releasing sinners from captivity. The King is not dead; he rests from his work. A new day will come. His Cross is not defeat; it is victory!”

“Queen or no queen, I have a royal destiny. […] no matter what I look like, where I live, or how much I have now, I am a princess. I am a daughter of the King of Kings!
That’s true of every one of us who belong to God. We are daughters of the King, born ‘for such a time as this.’ From where we sit, ‘this’ might look like a palace or the inside of a harem or a drab place of exile. Born born for ‘this’ doesn’t mean ‘this’ is our ultimate end. It means we’re uniquely positioned with our particular gifts, experiences, abilities, and limitations to do something further God’s kingdom here—in this place, at this time, and among these people.”

“God calls us out of the pain of our longing, not necessarily by erasing it or by giving us what we want but by giving us himself. His perfect love is always on offer; he’s always there for us.”

“When we don’t look to God to fulfill us, no matter what we find to put in it, the hole in our heart remains. And instead of feeling that hole as capacity, like a nest ready to receive life, we feel it as emptiness.”

“There’s something about lifting your voice to God, especially in the words of the Psalms. If you have something to be thankful for, it gives shape to your gratefulness. And if you don’t, the song becomes a place into which to pour your overflowing heart. The psalms give voice to your sorrow and pain, and singing them lifts up your heart. It resets your focus on God and gives you hope.”
