NYer,
Thank you for posting this reflection by Dr. D’Ambrosio. The story of Martha & Mary and their reactions to Jesus’ visit has become a favorite of mine; it reminds me of where and when to focus.
“Mary thought that the supreme compliment that she could pay to her divine guest, even more than world-class refreshments, was to give him her full attention. The fullness of truth had come to her home to nourish, enlighten, and transform her.”
As Christians, we all must remember that we follow Jesus; we must not be distracted by doctrinal disputes and trivialities over things such as “is the KGV Bible” better than the “Douray” or perhaps only reading it in the original Greek. Jesus is our center and h
His sacrifice is the gift of salvation He have us.

1Ti_1:3 As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine,
1Ti_1:10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;
Rom_16:17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
2Jn_1:10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
