In this episode of From the Ambo, Fr. Tom reflects on the familiar story of Martha and Mary. We are given a challenge to consider how often we let the good work of service crowd out the deeper work of prayer. It’s not a matter of choosing between being a Martha or a Mary—it’s about learning to pause in the busyness of life and sit at the feet of Jesus. In a world full of distractions, this homily is a timely reminder to give the Lord not just our efforts, but our presence.
