THE PASTOR’S CORNER
Homilies and Prayers of the Faithful for the ThreeYear Cycle by Desmond Knowles, Paulines Publication
Most of us at one time or another have experienced the fret
and fuss of a Martha and Mary clash in the home. The hardworking Martha gets irritated with the idling Mary and on the
spur of the moment says straight out what is on her mind. She
thinks that her sister should be engaged in something more
important than just listening to Jesus.
The gospel is telling us that no matter how busy we are,
we should take time to sit quietly and find the Lord in our
world of work and to be guided by him. It is easy to get our priorities wrong because all our waking moments are busy ones
with little time for sitting at the feet of Jesus, reflecting on our
lives. The danger is that if we do not take time to listen to the
word of God and to pray, we become slaves of our duties. We
rush and yet the important things can be forgotten and remain
undone. One of the great difficulties in life is that we neglect
people because we do not have the time to sit down and listen
to them. Our approach is often based on what we can do for
others; how we can smother them in kindness, whereas, what
they are really looking for is our company. Time spent visiting a
lonely soul in a home for the aged can also be time spent in the
company of God. For what we do to others we do to Christ. All
the everyday happenings of life are part of our religious lives
and provide an opportunity for working out our salvation.
