Jesus visits Martha and Mary.

Mary listens to Jesus.

Family Connection

Explain that when we use boundaries to exclude others, we are being hurtful. Point out

how in Jesus' time, some boundaries were used to

unfairly exclude people. One example was from last week's

Gospel: Samaritans. This Sunday's Gospel has another example: women. Talk about how the role of women has changed in your lifetime.

Explain that in this Sunday's Gospel, Jesus breaks down a barrier that kept women from

being disciples.

Read aloud Luke 10:38-42. Talk about how Martha is

conditioned by the existing boundaries of her society, but how her sister, Mary, breaks through that boundary and

becomes a disciple of Jesus. Talk about how you can work

as a family to break down boundaries that separate

people. Point out that when we pray the Lord's Prayer, we call

God “Our Father,” meaning that we are all his children; no boundaries should separate us. Conclude this time together by

praying the Lord's Prayer.

16th Sunday in Ordinary Time Page 2

Background on the Gospel Reading

The story of Jesus in the home of Martha and Mary complements the story of the Good Samaritan, which

immediately precedes it in Luke's Gospel. Both stories are unique to Luke. The story of the Samaritan opens with the words “a certain man.” Today's reading opens with the words “a certain woman.” The Samaritan is an example of how a disciple should see and act. Mary is an example of how a disciple should listen. Mary, a woman, is a marginalized person in society, like the Samaritan. Both do what is not expected of them. As a woman, Mary would be expected, like Martha, to prepare hospitality for a guest. Here again Jesus breaks with the social conventions of his time. Just as a Samaritan would not be a model for neighborliness, so a woman would not sit with the men around the feet of a teacher.

Both stories exemplify how a disciple is to fulfill the dual command which begins chapter 10—love of God (Mary) and love of neighbor (the Samaritan). These are the two essentials of life in the kingdom. By using the examples of a Samaritan and a woman, however, Jesus is saying something more. Social codes and boundaries were strict in Jesus' time. Yet to love God with all one's heart and one's neighbor requires breaking those rules. The Kingdom of God is a society without distinctions and boundaries between its members. It is a society that requires times for seeing and doing and also times for listening and learning at the feet of a teacher.
