The Lord tells us that Mary chose the good portion, NOT Martha. That there is One thing needful, and that is being with our Lord, keeping ourselves in His Presence. In this parable Martha symbolizes all the distractions that prevent us from Uniting in Christ, from sitting calmly with Our Lord, communicating with Him, Loving Him. THAT is the good portion. YES, we are also to imitate His Virtues and help the poor and evangelize, but St Isaac of Syria says don't be fooled by the devil who tries to put in our head that we need to be active and feed the poor, while we are with Christ. He says make no mistake, not even feeding thousands is more important than being with Christ!

@OrthodoxTradition 18 дней назад

Perhaps you are misunderstanding the word "active" as the Fathers interpret it. "Active" virtues means bodily toil/asceticism.

Indeed there’s a disconnection. Unfortunately none of the Orthodox I know and am related to are merciful and forgiving. They go to church with their new haircuts and shiny shoes this Holy Week without understanding that the person standing next to them is in pain.

To the title of this video, Yes I know what danger at present, and different people are in. Set warnings out ages ago, and the church and the whole ignored those warnings until it was too late. Now I live in a constant lament....had they just listened, had I just listened all the times I didn't and had we just listened. The importance of listening to warnings that are sent out, they are sent out for a reason, don't ignore the reason. While you have to deal with this now, I am and where we are in process of coming out of this danger. Dealing with it, we are ahead and dealing with what no other has yet, except God.

@honeybee52000 18 дней назад

The truth is: we ARE in danger and we should be fleeing with urgency, to true repentance. (Repentance being changed behaviors and full forgiveness.) Holy scripture says: repent ye, for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand. That is no small sentence.

We shouldn't preach watered down garbage because it might hurt someone's feelings. We are in danger. The demons attack us now, and will try to drag our souls to hell at our death.
