Luke 10:38-42 NIV

As Jesus and his disciples were on their way,
he came to a village where a woman named Martha 
opened her home to him. 
She had a sister called Mary, 
who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. 
But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care 
that my sister has left me to do the work by myself?
Tell her to help me!”
“Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, 
“you are worried and upset about many things, 
but few things are needed—or indeed only one. 
Mary has chosen what is better,
and it will not be taken away from her.”

‭‭

Christ with me, Christ before me,
Christ behind me, Christ in me,
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ on my right, Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down, Christ when I sit down,
Christ when I arise,
Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me.

from St. Patrick’s Breastplate prayer
