From today’s Scripture: “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.” —Lk 10:41-42

There is always something that must be done, whether it is a sink full of dishes, mowing the lawn, making dinner, or any other task that must be completed, it’s an endless cycle! I tend to get lost in this cycle and need to remind myself that those “tasks” will always be there, and that I need to be a Mary and choose the better part.

Let us pray: Heavenly Father, I pray for your guidance in being like Mary and choosing the better part, for I alone can get lost in the tasks of my daily life.
