The Grace of Christ be with you!
The story of Mary and Martha follows Jesus’ parable of the Good Samaritan in Luke. The Good Samaritan shows the church how to love our neighbor as ourselves. Yet, by definition, to love our neighbor as ourselves means we need to know how to love ourselves as well. How do we do this?
-
Like Martha, are we distracted by work?
-
Like Mary, do we stop and listen to Christ?
-
Like Jesus, do we value learners?
To love ourselves as Christ loves us is not being selfish. For to only worry about others and serve them without taking care or ourselves will foster burnout in ourselves & codependency. The Good Samaritan acted in mercy and not duty. Compassion includes taking time for ourselves.
Blessings, Will
