Mary and Martha of Bethany, sisters to Lazarus and close friends of Jesus, appear in the Gospels (Luke 10:38–42 and John 11) representing two facets of faith: service and contemplation.  Martha (the active host) welcomed Jesus into their home but became distracted by preparations even growing anxious, while Mary sat at the feet of Jesus – listening. Jesus explains that Mary chose the necessary focus on his teaching. Both service and devotion are important, but prioritizing time with Jesus is key.
