SCRIPTURE READING Luke 10:38-42 NRSV Liturgist

38 Now as they went on their way, he entered a certain village where a woman named Martha welcomed him., 

--

39 She had a sister named Mary, who sat at Jesus’s feet and listened to what he was saying. 

--

40 But Martha was distracted by her many tasks, so she came to him and asked, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to do all the work by myself? Tell her, then, to help me.” 

--

41 But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and distracted by many things, 

--

42 but few things are needed—indeed only one. Mary has chosen the better part, which will not be taken away from her.”

Gracious God,

You are the One who meets us on the mountain
and walks with us in the valley.

We thank You for the food before us
and for the hands that prepared it.
Bless it, that it may nourish our bodies.

We give thanks in Jesus’ name.

Amen.
