Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time (5)

What compare foolish Martha

weird to

like cat chasing laser (describe)

Mary goes hand Martha dot

earthly outcome vs source

Chains events

even 10k years future

never rest always leads to another

if chase dot, always frustrated

close or far, happiness of it can never be caught

paw over paw more more frustrating

Point not avoid outcome

all acts aim outcome

earthly ones like red dot

cant penned down, close then far always

1.) lead to next thing

2.)not perfect not complete

cant avoid outcome so aim at eternal

all else leads, relies on, good or bad based on

God however source and so Good in self

complete, unchanging, source

hand not the dot

Martha

chases after earthly things

making good meal

house order

1.)all passing earthly outcomes

second satisfied meal, not desiring food

until thing trying to be satisfied

second order house used its disturbed

2.) Not to mention these lead to something else, maybe good or bad,

no telling good meal lead bad

even wisest cant see all ends

Vanity, all vanity

Only God is satisfying because only God is everlasting and unchanging good

Mary has it right

For us

overwhelmed by events in life

why think for best or worse no matter how horrifying or ecstaticly pleasing?

lead, rely, based to something else

nothing in life is stable

always changing

ALWAYS frantic distress paw over paw trying to catch

Where we stress?

Where we act like cat thinking we caught dot?

only one act makes sense:

1 Cor 10:31. in whatever do, do for glory God

Only God

actions about God over the passing

hand over the dot

Mary over Martha

do so even in this life taste of Christ peace which is not as dots of world give.
