GOSPEL READING: LUKE 10:38-42
These two sisters were historical persons. Other Gospels also speak about them. But the details they give are different. However these two sisters represent two types of people. Rather they are models of people who follow Jesus and become disciples of Jesus in different ways.
Martha is a type of person who run around trying to do so many things for Jesus and continuously worried about doing things for Jesus. The amount of work she is trying to do is so much that one person could not complete it and hence there is the need for help from others. Mary does not do any external work but remains seated at the feet and listen to him.
மார்த்தாவும் மரியாவும் இரண்டு சகோதரிகள். இவர்கள் இரண்டு விதமான மக்களை குறிக்கிறார்கள். இயேசுவுக்காக பணிசெய்பவர்கள் ஒருபுறம் இருக்க. இயேசுவோடு உறவுகொண்டு> உறவாடி வாழ விரும்புபவர்களும் இருக்கிறார்கள். இயேசுவோடு உறவுகொண்டு வாழும் வாழ்வே சிறந்தது.
