A point to ponder: What sort of welcome do we give to the Lord? Notice, it's not would we give but do we give, since Jesus keeps paying us visit after visit: in his word, in the sacraments (above all, the Eucharist), in the faces of the poor. Whether our hospitality is more active (like Martha) or more contemplative (like Mary), is Christ the center of our attention?
