You worry too much…

The story of Mary and Martha is mainly interpreted as a warning against being too subject to the worries and tasks of life, as a warning against workaholics, and against forgetting to take care of the most important thing due to our many worries, namely listening to God’s voice.
Jesus’ words to Martha: “You worry and worry about many things…”, but perhaps it could be interpreted differently. After all, we know what it means: “You care too much!” We tell the other person to care for themselves and not stick their noses where they don’t belong. Jesus’ words do not seem to condemn or reject Martha’s care, but I would say that Jesus appreciates her hospitality. Instead, His words seem to me like a defense of Mary, which Martha was attacking. “Marta, take care of yourself, and don’t judge Maria when she does something differently than you do.” 

It’s a common human error to judge others, evaluate them, and finally condemn them because they do things differently than we do. At the same time, it is clear to all of us that every person is different, so everyone has to act a little differently. For Martha, the natural and correct way of expressing her respect and love for Jesus is through her hospitality, care, and the food she prepares.

And only for Mary is it correct to express the same attitude towards Jesus differently: by listening. Similarly, the same faith and holiness will be manifested in each believer in a slightly different way, in a slightly different way of praying, in a somewhat different way of thinking and talking about spiritual things. 

Let’s worry mainly about our faith and our relationship with Christ. Let’s not unnecessarily judge their faith and piety by wasting time and hurting others.
