3. Jesus entered a village
where a woman whose name was Martha welcomed him.
She had a sister named Mary
who sat beside the Lord at his feet listening to him speak.
Martha, burdened with much serving, came to him and said,
“Lord, do you not care
that my sister has left me by myself to do the serving?
Tell her to help me.”
The Lord said to her in reply,
“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.”

5. [ ]But have we really understood what this means?
27. And perhaps these two worlds aren’t really
that separate at all…
but two realities of the same world.[ ]
28. We just have to learn how to build it on the better part.
29. The question now is: [ How will you build your life on the better part? ]
30. The question now is: [ How will you build your life on the better part? ]
