GOSPEL READING: LUKE 10:38-42

Two sisters, one is busy with preparing food for the family and friend while the other is spending time with the friend. Preparing food is as important as spending time with the friend. Probably Martha would also like to spend time with Jesus as Mary is doing.

I wonder why Jesus says that Mary has chosen the better part since both are equally important. Does Jesus indirectly say that ‘man does not live on bread alone but from the word of God implying that he was discussing with her the word of God? For Jesus, every visit or every meeting is opportunity to communicate God and word of God.

விருந்தோம்பல் முக்கியமானது. (மார்த்தா அதைத் தேர்ந்துகொண்டாள்). நட்பும் முக்கியதானது (மரியா). இயேசு இறைவார்த்தையைப்பற்றி போதித்துக் கொண்டிருந்திருக்கலாம். மனிதன் அப்பத்தினால் மட்டுமன்றி இறைவார்த்தையினாலும் உயிர்வாழ்கிறான்.
