SUMMARY:Vigils Reading - 16th Sunday
DESCRIPTION:MARTHA AND MARY \nFrom a commentary by St Bruno of Segni \n◊◊◊ \nEverything our Savior did was full of sacred teaching. In every situation \nhis actions were meant to point beyond themselves. For example\, his outward \nactions in the hillside village of Bethany are repeated every day in his holy \nchurch. Daily the Lord Jesus enters in\, not thinking frequent visits beneath his \ndignity. There he is welcomed by Martha who takes him into her home. \nLet us see then what Martha stands for\, and what Mary symbolizes. Each \nof them denotes something important\, for these two make up the entire church. \nOne of them\, namely Martha\, symbolizes the active life; the other\, Mary\, \nthe contemplative. That is why Scripture says it was Martha\, not Mary\, who \nreceived Christ into her house. Mary\, of course\, does not own a house\, since the \ncontemplative life entails the renunciation of all worldly possessions. All that \ncontemplatives want to do is sit at the feet of the Lord – to read\, pray\, and give \nthemselves up to contemplating God is their whole desire. It is enough for them \nto be always listening to the word of God and feeding their minds rather than \ntheir stomachs. Such as these were the apostles and prophets\, such are many \nothers who leave everything\, flee from the world and cling to the Lord. They \nseem to possess nothing\, yet they have everything… \nNow the reason the active life is so called is because it consists of constant \nactivity\, weariness and toil\, so that scarcely a moment’s quiet can be found in it. \nWe are not referring here though to that kind of active life that occupies thieves\, \nimpels tyrants\, tempts misers\, stirs up adulterers\, and incites all wicked people \nto commit evil deeds. For just as we speak only of one Martha who was Mary’s \nsister\, so we are referring only to that type of active life which is most closely \nrelated to the contemplative life\, that is\, an active life that is pure and blameless. \nWhen the apostle preached and baptized\, worked with his hands to gain a \nlivelihood\, journeyed from city to city\, and showed solicitude for all the \nchurches\, was he not living the active life? In the same way then our text says of \nMartha that she was busy with much serving. In fact\, right down to the present \nday we see prelates in charge of the churches and the other clergy devotedly \nhurrying to and fro about their work\, hot and bothered\, sweating over the needs \nof their brothers and sisters in various ways\, so that we may rightly describe \nthem also as busy with much serving. The contemplative life then is superior to \nthe active because it is free from anxiety and will never end. Nevertheless the \nactive life is so indispensable that in this life the contemplative life itself cannot \nexist without it.
