Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

16th Sunday in Ordinary Time

This Sunday’s Gospel invites us into the home of Martha and Mary, two sisters who welcome Jesus in different ways. While Martha is busy with the tasks of hospitality, Mary chooses to sit and listen at the feet of Christ. Jesus gently reminds Martha, and all of us, that in the midst of life’s busyness, the better part is to pause and be present with Him.

As we reflect on this passage, may we find peace in setting aside our anxieties to simply rest in the presence of the Lord.
