Martha And Mary
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 September 2024
Extract
In one of the castles Jesus entered during his journey, a woman called Martha entertained him in her house. She had a sister called Mary. You have heard from the gospel the great happiness of the two women. Truly, great happiness was Martha's who received such a guest, who waited upon him and was busy in his service. Great happiness was Mary's who recognised the excellence of her guest, who heard his words and tasted his sweetness. The gospel narrates that our Lord Jesus Christ entered one of the castles and a woman called Martha entertained him in her house. She had a sister called Mary who ran to Jesus when he entered and sat down at his feet listening to his words. So closely did she attend to the words of the Lord that she took no heed of anything in the house, not even how much her sister was labouring.
