Galatians 1:13-14 / Luke 10:38-42
Christianity is a unique aspect in that it is God who reveals Himself to us.
In the Scriptures, we see that it is God who begins everything and sets everything in motion.
God created the world and human beings, and He reaches out to save them when they fell to sin.
God even sent His only Son Jesus Christ to be the Saviour, and Jesus Christ continues the revelation of God in the Scriptures and in the Church.
In the 1st reading, St. Paul understood this revelation in a personal dimension when he says that it is God who had specially chosen him while he was still in his mother’s womb.
God called him through His grace and chose to reveal His Son in St. Paul, so that he might preach the Good News to the pagans.
So it was God who chose and called St. Paul for a specific mission.
In the gospel, Jesus tells Martha that Mary has chosen the better part, meaning to say that Mary responded to God’s call to do what He wants of her, which is to sit at the feet of Jesus to listen to Him.
And Jesus is also telling Martha that God has a plan and a specific mission for her.
God also has a plan and a specific mission for us.
Let us be still and sit in prayer and listen to the voice of God and He reveals His plan and mission for us.
