To serve, to listen - or both?

To serve, to listen - or both?  The famous episode of Jesus' presence in the house of Martha, accompanied by her sister Mary, must be interpreted in the light of immediately before this account, Luke tells last week's parable: the Good Samaritan. It is crucial to care for others, as does Martha in today's Gospel. But we must also listen to the word of Jesus, as does Mary. Indeed, we are invited to do both: we must have a reason for our good actions, and only by listening to Jesus do we find the Christian motivation for our goodness to others.
