Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things. Yet only one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the better part.- Lk 10:41-42
Reflection: Christian renunciation is an authentic way of Christian life. It implies a hierarchical classification of its goods and it stimulates us to choose the better part. It gives us practice in self-control, and it establishes a mysterious economy of expiation, which makes us participants in Christ's redemption.
- Pope Paul VI
Prayer: O Lord, let me remember that saying "Yes" to Your love also involves saying "No" to those things that separate me from that love.
From: Minute Meditations from the Popes (Catholic Book Publishing Corp., New York)
