Call Me Blessed: Martha
⠀
“Knowing that children need chastisement to grow in virtue, it’s comforting to see Jesus rebuke Martha. As I often remind my own kids, if I didn’t care about them, I wouldn’t bother correcting them. I believe the same thing could be said about this exchange between Jesus and Martha. If Mary is the heart, then Martha is the hands. Begin with Mary’s heart of prayer, and then step out into the world with the determination, the fortitude, and the faith of Martha.” - Michaela Darr⠀
