Two ordinary mothers refuse to give up. Mary and Martha are an American and an Englishwoman who have little in common, apart from a tragedy that unexpectedly brings them together. Empowered by their friendship, they form a partnership that takes them from their meeting in a remote part of Mozambique all the way to Washington. There they find redemption and achieve something they would have never thought possible. - IMDB

Quote
Interpretations of the Mary and Martha, Martha and Mary, story often focus on 'a woman’s place.' What passes for liberating readings in some contexts is saying that a woman’s place is not just in the kitchen but also at the feet of Jesus. Missing from these less than revolutionary readings is the question of why it is imagined that women have a 'place' when men don’t. The whole world – and even the whole cosmos according to the men who kept women from originally going into space – is their place. Meanwhile, we have gender norms embedded in job descriptions and health insurance that punish women for being of reproductive age.
Wil Gafney, “An Enslaved Enslaving Church”

“The Lord answered, “Martha, Martha! You are worried and upset about so many things, but only one thing is necessary.
Mary has chosen what is best, and it will not be taken away from her.””
‭‭Luke‬ ‭10:41-42‬ ‭

Before the Passover
“Six days before the Passover Jesus came to Bethany, the home of Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead. There they gave a dinner for him. Martha served, and Lazarus was one of those at the table with him. 
Mary took a pound of costly perfume made of pure nard, anointed Jesus’ feet, and wiped them with her hair. The house was filed with the fragrance of the perfume.
But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples (the one who was about to betray him), said, ‘Why was this perfume not sold for three hundred denarii and the money given to the poor?’ (He said this not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief; he kept the common purse and used to steal what was put into it.) 
Jesus said, ‘Leave her alone. She bought it so that she might keep it for the day of my burial. You always have the poor with you, but you do not always have me.’ ” 
- John 12:1-8 NRSV (1989)

Resurrection and Life: Is Quantity More Important Than Quality?
Lazarus died, and his sister Martha was upset that Jesus had not arrived in time to heal him. She made a bold request: Then said Martha unto Jesus, “Lord, if thou had been here, my brother would not have died. But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.” Jesus saith unto her, “Thy brother shall rise again.” Martha saith unto him, “I know that he shall rise…

Mental Health & PROOF that Jesus Christ was a Contemplative
Jesus is the expert and our very source of contemplation.
Good mental health depends on so many factors. One of them is managing our stress. How we handle stress depends on what thoughts we allow into our mind and how much of those thoughts we entertain and act upon.  Contemplative prayer not only connects us with God but also has a positive effect on our mental health. In this article, I briefly outline the theology of mental health and that Jesus…

What Does Dying Daily to Self Mean to You?
“As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help…

Is Mary Magdalene a saint? How about Elizabeth, mother of John? Mary and Martha?
St Mary Magdalene is absolutely a saint! Same with St. Elizabeth, St Mary and St Martha of the Gospels!
I've got plenty of nominations for Mary Magdalene, a few for St. Martha, but Elizabeth, mother of John, and Mary, the sister of Martha, need more to make it to the bracket!! Send your propaganda in!
I use way too many exclamation points.

This has been on my mind for a while. It's not bad to work hard, but we can't forget that only necessary thing is Jesus. <3

My favourite place to pray is just sitting in church after mass ❤️ we have one of the most beautiful statues of our lady and the infant Jesus that I’ve seen and I like to sit near her and I love to sit with them and pray.
“But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and distracted by many things; there is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part, which will not be taken away from her.”” Luke‬ ‭10:41-42‬
My Aunty who is also my godmother and was my sponsor to enter the church reminded me of this passage recently. It is a really important one for me, as I find myself being much more of a worrying, busy, stressed Martha, than a humble, pious, listening Mary. I know that I need to work on this, but wow, reading the words of Jesus Christ Himself telling me so is very powerful! The wonderful wisdom of the word of God 🤍🤍🤍 truly the greatest comfort and teacher. I don’t know how I could live without it now, and I don’t know how I lived without it before!
