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
