This Gospel is traditionally about the balance between contemplation and social action. You need both in a life of faith, however, they are priorities. So many people will teach the contemplative way of Mary in coming to know Christ. Others will focus on the active way Martha follows Christ. Jesus recognizes the contemplative way is important but let’s face it, if he wants to have lunch, he will not stop Martha from her actions.
