The question we were asked today was, ' Are you a Martha or a Mary ?' It did not produce an 'I am Spartacus' moment but did enable us to reflect on our priorities not only in our secular lives but particularly in relation to how we choose to live the gospel. Unfortunatley there are very few musical motifs that we can use to illustrate these points but Choirboy used his reflection from the Book of Samuel, 'Speak Lord to me' during Communion to hopefully illuminate some of the themes of our readings today. Our liturgy was the poorer for the absence of Joyce, Gil and Kath - presumably all on holiday and we were greeted with the news that Derek and Ann will be absent for the next 4 weeks. Choirboy, himself is bracing himself for a summer sojurn so we were grateful for the addition of Veronica's guitar and Louise's promise that she will sing a solo in 2 weeks ! With Choirboy's only daughter playing her recorder loud and proud our liturgy had a balance of old and new and hopefully facilitated the worship.
