As we heard last week, life in the
Kingdom of God is a life committed to acts of compassion for the neighbor.
Martha exemplifies this servant life by providing hospitality for Jesus in her
home. But she fails to see the opportunity provided to her: to hear the word of
Jesus and, in so doing, receive hospitality from him. Life in the Kingdom of
God involves sitting, like Mary, at the feet of Jesus in the position of a
disciple, and Martha, too, is invited to participate in the life of
discipleship.
