The One Thing in the Midst of All the Things

The short description of Jesus's first interaction with the sisters Martha and Mary often leave us feeling unsettled and unsure about what to do with the passage; the way Jesus answers Martha's understandable concern just doesn't seem right to us. Rev Derwyn talks about how the Church has tried to work with this episode over time and suggests a way to approach it so that we can be encouraged both about the episode itself and how it can be instructive to us.
