Reflection 21   

             

               (St Luke 10:38-42)

                              Do the will of god………

       Meditation is a personal prayer in which, a conversation between me and my dear loving holy spirit. By keeping this in our mind let us think about the gospel passage St Luke 10:38-42.

                                             When we go through the gospel passage we can see three things which are connected to our daily also, welcoming Jesus, he is becoming distracted, absence of Jesus.

                                  Let us start with the first, according to the gospel passage, there contains 2 main characters Martha and Mary. Martha is welcoming Jesus and he is accepting her request and entering her house. in our daily life also we all are doing the same thing. We all are welcoming Jesus through our daily prayers, doing social works, holy Eucharist and many things….

          What about the second one, this is the core part of this reflection; in verse 40 we can see that Martha is worried and distracted about many things. in other words marths heart is filling with some sort of ego because of Mary. in our case also the same thing is happening. In certain situations knowingly or unknowingly our heart is also filling with some sort of ego-complex or anything like that. Dear friends keep in mind that our dear loving Holy Spirit or dear loving friend Jesus Christ is not expecting from our part. He is expecting a person of love, a person of care, a person of dedication, a person of affection…………let us try to do the will of god. He called us to be with him and to be another Jesus.

       Now we are moving to the third potion, at last we can see the absence of Jesus; he is going away from Martha by giving an advice. The same Jesus is giving that same advice to each one of us. (Martha you are worried and distracted about many things. Mary has chosen the better part which will not take away from her St Luke 10:42)

        Let us think about these things and try to do the will of god. In short, we all are welcoming Jesus our dear loving friend to our daily life through all our spiritual activities, and because of our own sinful activities he is becoming distracted and clearing the space by giving an advice.

             So let us try to select the good portion. So that it will not take away from our hands. Let us ask the help of mother Mary and all our dear saints and angels for doing the will of god.
