"As Jesus and His disciples
were on their way, He came to a village where a woman named Martha
opened her home to Him. She had a sister called Mary, who sat at
the Lord's feet listening to what He said. But Martha was
distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to
Him and asked, "Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to
do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!" "Martha, Martha," the
Lord answered, "you are worried and upset about many things, but
only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it
will not be taken away from her" (Luke
10:38-42).
