Jesus at the House of Martha and Mary 

Gustave Doré 1865 

she spends her life

at the feet of Christ

while I a martyr

to her merry

Lk 10:38-42 As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!” “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”

Happy birthday (June 19, 2012) dear Dulcina. You have indeed chosen what is better.
