Marta y Maria

Evangelio

Lc 10, 38-42

En aquel tiempo, entró Jesús en un poblado, y una mujer, llamada Marta, lo recibió en su casa. Ella tenía una hermana, llamada María, la cual se sentó a los pies de Jesús y se puso a escuchar su palabra. Marta, entre tanto, se afanaba en diversos quehaceres, hasta que, acercándose a Jesús, le dijo: “Señor, ¿no te has dado cuenta de que mi hermana me ha dejado sola con todo el quehacer? Dile que me ayude”.

El Señor le respondió: “Marta, Marta, muchas cosas te preocupan y te inquietan, siendo así que una sola es necesaria. María escogió la mejor parte y nadie se la quitará”.

Gospel

LK 10:38-42

Jesus entered a village 
where a woman whose name was Martha welcomed him.
She had a sister named Mary
who sat beside the Lord at his feet listening to him speak. 
Martha, burdened with much serving, came to him and said,
“Lord, do you not care
that my sister has left me by myself to do the serving? 
Tell her to help me.” 
The Lord said to her in reply,
“Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things. 
There is need of only one thing. 
Mary has chosen the better part
and it will not be taken from her.”

Meditacion:

Marta y Maria. Ni por un segundo debemos pensar que Marta no queria estar cerca de Jesus, lo habia invitado a su casa y queria agasajarlo de la mejor manera que pudiera.

Y por eso corria, afanandose, procurando preparar la comida, limpiando aqui y alla para que todo estuviera lindo.

Maria en cambio, sencillamente, se sento a sus pies y se puso a escucharle. No le importaba a Maria que los vidrios de las ventanas estuvieran sucios, el Señor habia venido y ella queria escucharlo.

Cuantas veces amigos nosotros somos Marta, ocupandonos de lo exterior, pretendiendo que todo parezca bello y sin embargo nos pasamos de largo a Jesus.

Cuantas veces andamos de afan, comprando cosas que no usaremos mucho, cayendo en chismes, haciendole mas casos al celular o a la television y no tenemos 10 minutos para callarnos, cerrar la puerta de la habitacion y orar y agradecer por lo que Dios nos da cada dia, empezando por nuestra propia vida.

No demos nada por garantizado, todo lo que tenemos Dios nos lo ha dado y somos solo administradores; con un solo plumazo, puede desaparecer.

Seamos mas Maria, no esperemos a tener todo arreglado, vayamos hacia El con nuestros pies descalzos, con nuestra vida de pecado que El ya conoce y solo, sencillamente, pidamos la Gracia de la Conversion para nosotros y los que conocemos.

"Señor ayudame a convertir mi corazon en uno ardiente de amor por ti" Amen

Marta and Maria. Not for a second should we think that Marta did not want to be near Jesus, she had invited him to her house and wanted to entertain him in the best way she could.

And that's why he ran, toiling, trying to prepare the food, cleaning here and there so that everything was nice.

Maria, on the other hand, simply sat at her feet and began to listen to her. Maria did not care that the windows were dirty, the Lord had come and she wanted to hear him.

How many times friends we are Marta, taking care of the outside, pretending that everything seems beautiful and yet we pass by Jesus.

How many times are we anxious, buying things that we will not use much, falling into gossip, making more cases on the cell phone or television and we do not have 10 minutes to shut up, close the door of the room and pray and thank for what God gives us each day, starting with our own life.

Let's not take anything for granted, everything we have God has given us and we are only administrators; With a single stroke, it can disappear.

Let's be more Maria, let's not wait to have everything fixed, let's go to Him with our bare feet, with our life of sin that He already knows and just, simply, let's ask for the Grace of Conversion for us and those we know.

"Lord help me to turn my heart into a burning one of love for you" Amen
