Welcoming Christ….
The story of Jesus in the home of Martha and Mary complements the story of the Good Samaritan, from last week’s Gospel. We must remember that Jesus is portrayed as telling that parable as clarification of the law to love God and love neighbour. 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.
Both stories exemplify how a disciple is to fulfil the dual command - love of God (Mary) and love of neighbour (the Samaritan). The Kingdom of God has no distinctions and boundaries. There are times for seeing and doing and also times for listening and learning at the feet of a teacher. Like Mary, we need to be atten-tive to the words of Jesus and spending time with Lord in prayer, empowers us to do our daily work better.
St Mary Magdalene (Feast 22 July)
St. Mary Magdalene is one of the greatest saints of the Bible and a legendary example of God's mercy and grace. The precise dates of her birth and death are unknown, but we do know she was present with Christ during his public ministry, death and resurrection. She is mentioned at least a dozen times in the Gospels. The Gospels agree that Mary was originally a great sinner. Jesus cast seven
demons out of her when he met her. During Jesus' ministry, it is believed that Mary Magdalene followed him, part of a semi-permanent entourage who served Jesus and his Disciples. Mary likely watched the crucifixion from a distance along with the other women who followed Christ during His ministry. She was the first witness to His resurrection. After the death of Christ, a legend states that she remained among the early Christians. After fourteen years, she was allegedly put into a boat by Jews, along with several other saints of the early Church, and set adrift without sails or oars. The boat landed in southern France, where she spent the remaining years of her life living in solitude, in a cave. She is the patroness of converts, repentant sinners, sexual temptation, pharmacists, tanners and women, and many other places and causes.
