Like many people I work with, I am afflicted with Martha-ism which Pope Francis defines as excessive industriousness; the sickness of those who immerse themselves in work, inevitably neglecting the better part of sitting at Jesus feet.” “Therefore, Jesus required his disciples to rest a little, as neglecting the necessary rest leads to stress and agitation. Rest, once one who has brought his or her mission to a close, is a necessary duty and must be taken seriously: in spending a little time with relatives and respecting the holidays as a time for spiritual and physical replenishment, it is necessary to learn the teaching of Ecclesiastes, that there is a time for everything.”
