[Grem] A mai szentmise igéi (Szt. Márta)

[Emoke Greschik]

 *Ez az evangéliumi elmélkedés nem a fenti evangéliumról szól:*

*Friends, today’s Gospel is the story of Martha and Mary. I’d like to offer
a fresh take on this famous little story. One of the principal marks of
Jesus’ teaching and ministry is the overturning of social conventions. And
one of the most striking and surprising of *Jesus’ moves was a radical
inclusion of women.



* While this typically women’s work was going on, men would sit out in the
main room of the residence and talk. If a prominent rabbi or Pharisee were
present, the men would sit at his feet and listen to his words. Now we can
see why Mary’s attitude was so offensive to Martha *and probably to
everyone else in the room. *Martha wasn’t simply mad that Mary was giving
her more work to do; **she was mad that Mary had the gall to assume the
stance of a man, *to take up her position in the men’s space.

* In his response to Martha’s complaint, Jesus signals more than **a
preference for listening over acting;* *he invites a woman into the life of
discipleship.* *“Mary has chosen the better part and it will not be taken
from her.”*
