A SHARE IN GOD’S KINGDOM
Today concludes a three-week series of Gospel texts in which we have listened to a total of seven parables about the Kingdom. The believer is asked to consider the re-quest that God made of Solomon in today’s first reading: “Ask something of me and I will give it to you” (1 Kings 3:5). Today’s parables about the treasure buried in the field and the pearl of great price should prompt us to an-swer, “A share in your kingdom, O God!” Today we dis-cover that the kingdom of God is beyond value, a priceless treasure. Unfortunately, our culture bombards us with things that it believes are priceless treasures—the bigger and better SUVs, anti-aging and anti-balding creams and salves, miracle diets, and so much more. Having a share in God’s king-dom and helping to bring about that kingdom are the greatest treasures that we can ever hope to gain. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

SAINT MARTHA (first century) (July 29)
Whether you find Martha Stewart admirable or annoying, she has the perfect patron saint. Luke describes Martha—saint, not Stewart—as “burdened with much serving” (Luke 10:40). About Mary, seated, listening to Jesus, Martha complained, “Do you not care that my sister has left me by myself to do the serv-ing?” Jesus’ response, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things . . . Mary has chosen the better part” (10:41, 42), suggests to some the superiority of the con-templative life, leaving the rest of us, supporting families, earn-ing livings, (helping others?), as second-class Christians. But Luke introduces Martha and Mary immediately after Jesus’ para-ble of the Good Samaritan, whom Jesus recommends as a model of practical compassion, concluding, “Go and do like-wise” (10:37). Go and do! Sit and listen! Discipleship is never either/or but both/and. Jesus ministered in prayerful silence and hospitable service. Monastic calendars add Martha’s sister, Mary, and brother, Lazarus, calling all three “hosts of the Lord,” recalling their welcome of Jesus to their home in Bethany, re-minding us Whom we welcome whenever we extend summer-time hospitality! —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
