Personal prayer cycle · Day 3 of 31 · Luke 10:38–42
Read Luke 10:38–42 in your Bible, then take a moment to reflect.
Martha’s service matters, but her anxiety has crowded out attention to Jesus. Mary reminds us that receiving comes before giving. A moment of listening can return proportion to our work. We do not have to earn God’s presence by completing every task first.
Bring it to prayer
What keeps pulling my attention away from God?
One act of faith
Set aside five unhurried minutes for silence.
Original meditation by Life of the Saints. This is part of a repeating personal-prayer cycle, not an assignment of the Mass Gospel.
