Caravaggio's Martha and Mary Magdalene |
God certainly has a sense of humor. Yesterday, I went to a noon Mass not knowing that it was being offered for my intentions. (I like how the priest never announces it. I find it more meaningful that way.) After Mass, I had some business to discuss with the celebrant, who had a big smile to share. "Did you know today's Mass was offered for you and your intentions?"
What a great gift. I was (and still am) so preoccupied with wedding details and my summer work schedule that I haven't really been thinking about much else. How apropos that it was the feast of St. Martha. The more I think about it, the less coincidental I think it is:
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. -Luke 10:41-42
