What might it mean to consider that there is a little of Mary and Martha within each of us, and within our youth? What does the context of today’s culture bring the Martha out of our youth, as they attempt to navigate these waters? And how might the church be present to that, and perhaps offer a different perspective?
Where did Martha’s anxiety come from? Where do our youths’ anxiety come from? How can we be realistic about these sources, and present to what is possible in the midst of it?
