Oh, merciful God, give me the grace today to come to You when I am feeling burdened as Matha was in today’s Gospel. Even in my annoyance and exhaustion, allow me to put my concerns in Your care rather than lashing out or getting angry at others. Give me assurance that You are there with me in my frustrations. Mary chose the better part, let me too do the same with my feelings of being put upon by others, to bring these feelings to You. Remind me that one thing is necessary, and that is to bring these things to You. Amen.
Sts. Martha and Mary, pray for me.
