FIRST READING: Gen. 18: 1-10 Do not pass by, Lord, without visiting your servant.
The Lord appears to Abraham while he is sitting at the entrance of the tent. It is announced that Sarah will conceive and bear a son.
RESPONSORIAL PSALM: Ps. 15 "Lord, who shall be admitted to your tent?"
SECOND READING:
Col. 1: 24-28 The mystery hidden for centuries has now been revealed to his saints.
GOSPEL ACCLAMATION:
See Lk. 8: 15 "Happy are they who have kept the word with a generous heart."
GOSPEL: Lk. 10: 38-42
Martha welcomed Jesus into her home. "Mary has chosen the better part." Martha becomes upset because Mary has chosen to sit at the feet of Jesus rather than help Martha serve their guests.
FOCUS: The Lord is a personal God who visited Abraham and Sarah in the desert. In the person of Jesus, God lived among us.
REFLECTION: "The brothers and sisters must guard with jealous watchfulness the times of private prayer. They must remember that corporate worship is not a substitute for the quiet communion of the individual soul with God." St. Francis of Assisi
"The air is in the sunshine and the sunshine in the air. So likewise is God in the being of the soul: and whenever the soul's highest powers are turned inward with active love, they are united with God without means, in a simple knowledge of all truth, and in an essential feeling and tasting of all good." Bl. Jan Van Ruysbroeck
"Look to yourself, and have more concern with the heart. To discriminate between movements of the heart, read and reflect on the writings of Sts. John of the Ladder, Isaac of Syria, Barsanouphios and John-also of Diadochos, Philotheos, Abba Isaias, Evagrios, Cassian, and Neilos in the Philokalia; and apply what they say to yourself. When you read, do not just leave impressed on your mind a general idea of the author's argument, but always turn what he says into a personal rule to be applied to yourself. When you do this, the general idea you have formed always undergoes some shades of change. Theophane the Recluse
APPLYING THE READINGS TO THE LITURGY: Mention of God's Word is significant in today's lectionary readings. Consider emphasizing the Holy Books and Liturgy of the Word. Introduce the liturgy by saying that God was personal with Abraham and Sarah, and Jesus showed great love for Martha and Mary. So too God is intimately present to us in the Liturgy. The Holy Books could be incensed stressing our coming in contact with God through them. Introduce the breaking of the bread by declaring that as God was with Abraham and Sarah in the desert so God is with us through the Eucharist.
General Intercessions-
Introduction: Gathered together in Christ, as brothers and sisters, let us recognize the voice of Christ in our lives and ask God to hear our prayers.
·That pastors may lead in faith and serve in love the flock entrusted to their care by Christ the Good Shepherd,
· That the whole world may experience true peace, the peace only possible through Christ,
· That our suffering sisters and brothers may have their sorrow turned to joy,
· That our community may have the faith and strength to bear witness to the gospel planted in our hearts,
Eucharistic Prayer: 4
Prayers over the People: 4
Faith Formation
There needs to be a balance between listening, reflecting, and serving. In today's gospel Mary was commended for choosing to sit and listen to the words of Jesus. This was usually the practice of men. Martha was upset with Mary yet Jesus said that Mary had chosen the better way.
· What does this account say a bout our own misunderstandings about what the Lord requires of us?
It's easy to go too far in one direction when pursuing spiritual matters. What we need is a balance of spiritual disciplines.
· What do you think you need to do to lead a more balanced spiritual life?

CHILDREN'S LITURGY OF THE WORD
Discuss our physical sense of balance. Define balance as having equal amounts of weights on either side so as to even things out, so we can move the way we want to.
· What are some of the things we do
each day that requires a sense of
balance.?
Ask the children if they know what we mean when we talk about a balanced diet. Discuss the idea of having a spiritual balance in which we make time for prayer, reading scriptures, and helping others. Then this way our spiritual lives will even out, and we can make spiritual progress.
