the one thing necessary (luke 10:38-42)

source: fr dante barril, svd (2019). commentary on the above gospel of tuesday, 27th week in ordinary time

Lk 10:42 "Mary has chosen the BETTER PART and it will not be taken from her."

"...when Jesus said MANY things, he most probably was not only referring to the menus and other kitchen stuff (these would hardly qualify as 'many things'). 

Rather, Jesus' reference to MANY THINGS could be Martha's countless LIFE CONCERNS.

...an expression of a friend's love and concern. An INVITATION for her to come to Him, to sit down and talk about things 'over a cup of coffee.'"
