The spiritual walk is a continuous process of learning and transformation, and this becomes even more evident when we look at the example of Martha and Mary, described in Luke 10:38-42. In this passage, we see Jesus visiting the home of Martha, Mary and Lazarus. Martha focuses on household chores, while Mary sits at Jesus' feet, listening attentively to his words. When Martha questions Jesus about Mary's lack of help, He responds that Mary chose the best part, which will not be taken away from her. This story offers a profound lesson about the importance of prioritizing spiritual life before everyday concerns. Jesus does not criticize Martha for the work itself, but for her inner restlessness and distraction. This leads us to reflect on what really matters in our lives: being constantly busy with daily tasks or dedicating time to contemplation and spiritual connection? The video also highlights the relevance of inner silence for spiritual growth. In modern society, where productivity and hustle and bustle are often valued, finding moments of stillness can be quite a challenge. However, silence is essential to hear God's voice and achieve greater closeness to Him. It is in this state of stillness that we can reconnect with our purpose and our essence. Just as Mary chose to listen to Jesus, we are also invited to choose silence as a means of being closer to God. The practice of prayer and reading the Bible are fundamental ways to cultivate this connection. Being before doing, as mentioned in the reflection, means putting spiritual life as a priority, allowing our daily actions to be guided by this deep connection. The example of Mother Teresa is cited to reinforce the importance of prayer life. She highlighted that, without an intense life of prayer, works lose their spiritual depth. Jesus, who spent 30 years in silence before beginning his ministry, also shows us that silence is an essential preparation for meaningful action. Modern life constantly distracts us with responsibilities and stimuli, but it's crucial to find a balance between being and doing. It is through silence and contemplation that we can find inner peace and clarity to face daily challenges. This does not mean abandoning our responsibilities, but rather integrating them with a spiritual practice that strengthens us and gives us purpose. The final message of the video is an invitation to all of us: practice silence and seek balance between our activities and our spiritual life. When we prioritize our connection with God, we are able to carry out our tasks with more lightness and meaning. The spiritual journey, like that of Martha and Mary, is a journey of daily choices, where we are called to choose that which will not be taken away from us: the presence of God in our lives. #Spirituality #InteriorSilence #MartaEMaria #WalkingWithJesus #Oration #SpiritualLife #ConexionWithGod #BiblicalReflection #EspiritualSilence #InteriorTransformation #PrayerLife #InteriorPaz #EquilíbrioSpiritual #EspiritualPriorities #JesusETheBetterWay ✅ SUBSCRIBE to the channel for more content about faith, hope and love in context contemporary Christian. ????
