No comments on Martha and Mary Entertaining and Feeding the Lord

Believe me, Martha and Mary must work together when they offer the Lord lodging, and they must have Him ever with them, and they must not entertain Him badly and give Him nothing to eat… His food consists in our bringing Him souls, in every way possible [Martha’s ways and Mary’s ways], so that they may be saved and may praise Him forever.
Saint Teresa of Jesus
