In today's Gospel we have the story of two sisters, Martha and Mary. Mary sits at Jesus' feet to hear his teaching, and Martha complains that she has to do all of the work of hospitality. In reality, they are both doing the work of being a follower of Christ, but we all need to know the most important task of a Christian is to fall more and more in love with Jesus. So whether we are accomplishing the tasks that need to be done or taking the time to rest with Jesus, our attention should be Jesus, the one thing necessary.
