Father Sean's Weekly Message
July 20, 2025
"'There is need of only one thing.' The Psalm tells us what it is: living in the presence of the Lord. Abraham begs for this presence: 'Sir, please do not go on past your servant.' With Jesus in her home, Martha is 'anxious and worried' because she fails to see the 'one thing' that all her busyness is ordered to: hosting Jesus and enabling her guests to converse with and adore the Lord. Saint Paul attests that God's stewardship is given to him 'to bring to completion for you the Word of God.' God chooses 'to make known the riches of the glory of this mystery' to those who choose him and find in him the source of their contemplation and activity. Ps 54 (53): 6, 8" (Magnificat July 2025, pg. 302)
