Focus on the One Thing Necessary - Bishop Barron's Sunday Sermon

  • Friends, the Gospel for this Sunday is the wonderful story of Martha and Mary. But the Church sets this up in a really interesting way by giving us a first reading from Genesis 18-the mysterious story of Abraham being visited by three guests. The two stories together show us that the problem is not hospitality, nor being active as opposed to contemplative; rather, the problem is being focused on many things instead of the one thing necessary, in which everything else tends to fall into the right place.

    POPE BENEDICT XVI: “God wants your friendship. And once you enter into friendship with God, everything in your life begins to change. As you come to know him better, you will find you want to reflect something of his infinite goodness in your own life. You become attracted to the practice of virtue. You begin to see greed and selfishness and all the other sins for what they really are, destructive and dangerous tendencies that cause deep suffering and do greater damage, and you want to avoid falling into that trap yourselves. You begin to feel compassion for people in difficulties and you are eager to do something to help them. You want to come to the aid of the poor and the hungry, you want to comfort the sorrowful, you want to be kind and generous. And once these things begin to matter to you, you are well on the way to becoming saints.”

    My name is Martha... and this parable is the story if my life. Everyday I try to remind myself not to be like Martha. I often wonder... if not Martha then who? Someone needs to be the host. Maybe Martha was meant to be the host... maybe it's OK to fill the role of host, but not complain or worry... just hurry and join Mary? Jesus... please have Mercy on all Marthas.🌻

      In John 11:27, it was Martha who, in answer to Jesus said: “ Yes, Lord I have come to believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, the one who is coming into the world.” So, Martha’s faith is strong. Read verses 32,33, Jesus became “perturbed and deeply troubled” with Mary and her weeping friends. So, be the Martha God created you to be.

  • @fieldsofomagh
    @fieldsofomagh Před rokem +1

    Well interpreted and expounded in a way that makes perfect sense by amalgamating the Abraham narrative with the Jesus experience. The old complements the new and allows the viewer to grasp the core message under the guise of ordinary events being reenacted in domestic person to person exchanges. The focus on the infinite brings the attention away from our finite and limiting self and onto somebody that is total fulfilment himself. Prioritising God will always result in God prioritising us, whereas the reverse attitude leads to confusion and entanglement.

    I am torn from my prayers by many concerns involuntarily. I return to my prayers forcefully only to be assaulted by the devil with temptations and impure thoughts. I again return to my prayers rejecting the invitation to entertain these thoughts that drive me away from what I am doing. This happens often but not always. I know that I must ask the assistance of Mother Mary or St. Joseph sometimes which is a sure way to escape the attack. I hope and pray that I can persevere in following the righteous path to Jesus whenever this occurs. Let me never forget that I cannot overcome without supernatural help from above.

      When you pray my brother in Christ, pray with a soft audible voice in the private of your room.
      Also, the Satan has been dealt with at the cross of Jesus. Col 2:15 After the cross the devil is our own thoughts.
      The only assistance you need, is of the Helper Jesus promised will come to us, after he was ascended into heaven (a higher realm; nót a geographic place). You cannot pray to a human.. 'Mother Mary/St Joseph', as this are unBiblical. Jesus also had to die for their sins. John 3:16,17
      The Help is inside of you, as all distance has been cancelled at the cross of Jesus. Col 1:26-27 We have been made óne with Him! (It's only the carnal mind that still pictures distance).
