Lectio: Lk 10.38-42

“As they continued on their journey, he [Jesus] entered a village where a woman named, Martha, welcomed him.” Lk 10.38

“O God, a friend of Your Son’s is a friend of Yours.

I remember when Jesus entered Bethany, it was Martha who welcomed Him and because of her hospitality Jesus accepted her welcome.

Grant that I may always remember Your Son’s words that anyone who receives Him receives the One who sent Him; namely You. How great for us!

I ask this of You who lives and reigns with Jesus and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever. Amen.

Operatio: Reflect on “hospitality” - a welcoming attitude but more than words; a reaching out for the visitor for his or her comfort; a marked sign of a good person in Judaism; but a marked sign of a good person in any culture; offered without expectation of any reward; but also rewarded by our Heavenly Father. Resolve to make ‘hospitality’ a habit.

Tomorrow’s readings: Lk 11.1-4
