Reflection

In-Depth Analysis
• Sitting at His feet– Sitting at His feet implies that he is her
master and teacher.• Scholars believe it was against Jewish culture to
teach Women the Torah.• Makes this an extremely radical move.

Analysis Cont’d
• Story demonstrates the importance of women– Women at the time were not considered as
important as men• Jesus came for ALL of us.• Author centers the story around a man (Jesus) and
two women (Martha and Mary)

Analysis Cont’d
• The Story reminds us to:– Avoid distractions and worries
• Jesus rebukes Martha for being “anxious and worried about many things” (Lk 10:41) and not focusing on what’s truly important.
– Balance listening to the word of God with serving Him
• Mary realizes that the word of God is just as important as servitude.
• Jesus teaches us that we must focus on listening and get distracted by trivial matters.
