SITTING AT THE FEET OF JESUS
The Gospel for this 16th Sunday in Ordinary Time invites us into the serene and sacred space of Martha and Mary’s home, where Jesus gently reminds us of what truly matters. As Martha is busy with serving, Mary chooses the better part - to sit at the feet of the Lord and listen to His word. Her choice speaks volumes in a world overwhelmed by distractions, tasks, and noise. It is a call to every disciple to pause, to listen, and to be present to the One who brings peace and meaning.
This Sunday’s liturgy offers us the grace to re-centre our hearts on Jesus and to recognize the quiet power of contemplative presence. The resources shared here are meant to help our communities and individuals celebrate this moment with depth, devotion, and renewed awareness. May we, like Mary, choose the better portion - the one that will not be taken away.
