Who are you - ¿Quién Eres Tú? - Whole Community Catechesis
Tuesday July 17th 2007
Filed Under Whole Community CatechesisWHO ARE YOU?
In Sunday’s Gospel passage, Martha joins the ranks of her ancestors who freely contested the situations in which they found themselves. She doesn’t merely gripe about her sister’s laziness; she does it without restraint to the one she addresses as “Lord.” Her tone, “Do you not care?” is somewhat accusatory (Luke 10:40). She must have felt quite trusting of her relationship with her sister and her Lord, in order to address Jesus in such a forthright manner. Jesus does not hesitate to give her a straightforward reply. He doesn’t contradict the need for the serving that must be done. He would, in fact, one day imitate the servile hospitality of Abraham’s foot-washing. Martha had welcomed him, washed the feet at which Mary sat, as Abraham welcomed his visitors. She scurried for a meal, as did Sarah for her guests. All necessary, but her anxiety and worry kept her from “the better part” of knowing her sister and knowing Christ. May we all be a bit like Martha, ready to welcome, to bear the burden of serving, to call others to serve with us, but always, with Mary, in the assurance of those who sit attentively at the feet of the Lord.
Today’s Readings: Genesis 18:1–10a; Psalm 15:2–5; Colossians 1:24–28; Luke 10:38–42
¿QUIÉN ERES TÚ?
En el Evangelio de hoy, Marta se une a la lista de sus antepasados, que se habían atrevido a disputar las situaciones en que se encontraban. El tono de su pregunta –“Señor, ¿no te importa…?” es bastante acusatorio. (Lucas 10:40) Marta tiene que haber estado bien segura de su relación tanto con el Señor como con su hermana, cuando le pudo hablar a Jesús en ese tono tan franco y directo. Jesús no niega que hace falta que alguien haga el trabajo de cocinar y de servir la mesa. Él mismo, un día, había de imitar el servicio hospitalario de Abraham, lavando los pies a sus discípulos. Marta lo había recibido con alegría, y al igual que Abraham había lavado los pies de los tres extraños, ella le había lavado a Jesús los pies; esos pies junto a los cuales estaba sentada María ahora. Al igual que Sara, Marta también se había atareado para preparar una cena para sus invitados. Todo eso era necesario, pero su preocupación y su inquietud la alejaban de esa “mejor parte”, que era comprender a su hermana y conocer a Cristo. Conceda Dios que todos seamos un poco como Marta, siempre dispuestos a recibir a quien llegue, a llevar la carga de servir a los demás y a llamar a los demás a que se unan a nuestro servicio; pero, al igual que María, siempre con esa seguridad que tienen los que se sientan a los pies del Señor y escuchan atentamente sus palabras.
Lecturas de hoy: Génesis 18:1–10a; Salmo 15:2–5; Colosenses 1:24–28; Lucas 10:38–42

“There Is No Difficulty About Christ’s Presence In The Eucharist As In A Sign, But That He Is Truly Present In The Eucharist As He Is In Heaven, This Is Most Difficult. Therefore To Believe This Is Especially Meritorious” –St. Bonaventure-
