But when he began to preach, there was extraordinary response. People converted on day one of hearing him say, &#8220;Forty more days and Nineveh will be destroyed.&#8221; It spread immediately through a city it would take three days to traverse, and every creature, from the King to the animals, repented in sackcloth and ashes. We should remember, when we&#8217;re intimidated to proclaim the Gospel to others, that while some may refuse and reject it, others may respond in ways far greater than we could have imagined. As we contemplate this scene, we should also remember how Jesus used it in the Gospel with regard to the cities of Chorazin, Capernaum and Bethsaida, reminding them that &#8220;There is a greater than Jonah here,&#8221; and summoning them to a conversion even more profound.<\/li>\n<li>That leads us to today&#8217;s Gospel, as the Lord gently brings Martha to conversion. On July 29 each year, we celebrate <em>Saint\u00a0<\/em>Martha&#8217;s feast day, but she still needed conversion. While she was seeking to love the Lord, working hard to prepare a meal for him, she was &#8220;anxious and worried about many things.&#8221; Jesus reminded her: &#8220;Only one thing is necessary&#8221; and then told her to choose that &#8220;better part&#8221; as her sister Mary had done. Often we are worried and anxious about many\u00a0<em>good <\/em>things, but we have to choose the one thing necessary and better, namely, to do everything for, with, through, and in Jesus, beginning by letting him do what he wants to do in us.\u00a0What Mary grasped that Martha didn\u2019t is that Jesus had come to their home primarily to feed and not to be fed, to serve rather than to be served, and it was Mary who grasped that and sat at his feet as he not only fed her with the nourishment of his word and presence. Similarly as we look at our day and all the good things we need to do, Jesus, the greater than Jonah, is calling us to remember the &#8220;one thing&#8221; and choose it. He&#8217;s calling us to unity of life. He&#8217;s summoning us to keep our attention on him, not just rather than on all of the other good things we need to do, but in all the other things we have to do, if we really have to do them. For all of us in our Christian lives, we are interiorly drawn and quartered by so many different aims, projects, tasks, hopes, etc. Jesus is calling us to convert to simplicity, to know that he cares for us, to know that his Father provides, to know that whatever we do, in word or in deed, we&#8217;re called to do in his name.<\/li>\n<li>How do we grow in this simplicity to which Jesus calls us, the unity of focus on Jesus that we see in Mary of Bethany? I think a great means is by Marian devotion. In this month of the Holy Rosary as we prepare for the centenary of the last of the apparitions in Fatima on October 13, it&#8217;s good for us to ponder how the Rosary is not meant to be just one more good thing we do or spiritual box we check off, but something that helps us to enter into Mary&#8217;s own contemplative gaze and heart.\u00a0When we pray the Rosary, we sit\u00a0with Mary of Nazareth at the feet of Jesus, her Son, as we let him nourish, cleanse, illumine and strengthen us. We contemplate Jesus in all the mysteries of his life, from his conception in Mary\u2019s womb, to his making John the Baptist leap in Elizabeth\u2019s, to his birth and being adored, to his being lifted up in Simeon\u2019s arms and described as a sign of contradiction, to his dazzling the scholars of the law in the temple, to his being baptized and mentioned as the beloved Son of the Father, to his elevating marriage to a sacrament in Cana, to his calling us to conversion in order to enter his kingdom, to his being transfigured as the Father called us to listen to him, to his instituting the great Sacrament of the Eucharist, to his sweating blood in agony, to his being scourged and crowned with thorns, to his carrying the Cross and dying on it, to his being raised from the dead, ascending into heaven, sending forth the Holy Spirit, raising his mother up to heaven and crowning her queen of saints. We ponder Jesus in all of these central episodes in his life an are helped to contemplate him in so many other scenes as well. We look to him as the one thing necessary, as the better part, and with his Mother Mary we make time for him, just like Mary of Bethany did.\u00a0When we really ponder the mysteries of the Rosary instead of merely recite them, we\u2019re changed. In seeing Jesus more intensely we begin to see ourselves more profoundly. The Second Vatican Council taught us 50 years ago that it\u2019s only in the mystery of the Word made flesh that we can understand ourselves and our supreme vocation. It\u2019s only by entering into the mystery of his self-giving love that we find ourselves. The Rosary is a school that not only helps us to understand Jesus but understand ourselves, particularly as we go through the joyful, luminous, sorrowful and glorious episodes of human life. When we pray the Rosary and contemplate all of the mysteries of Jesus\u2019 life and saving work from the perspective of our Lady, we begin to understand the conversion asked of us so that we, too, may live these mysteries and come to enflesh them in life and share in Jesus\u2019 eternal glory.<\/li>\n<li>That leads us to the second thing we learn from examining the Rosary from the perspective of Bethany. We learn how to serve God and others like Martha but without losing Mary\u2019s contemplative spirit. We\u2019re able to work not only\u00a0<em>for\u00a0<\/em>Jesus but\u00a0<em>with Jesus.\u00a0<\/em>St. John Paul II pondered this truth in his great apostolic exhortation\u00a0<em>Rosarium Virginis Mariae,\u00a0<\/em>released 15 years ago. The more we contemplate Christ in the mysteries of the Rosary the more we\u2019re able to see Christ in others and serve them as contemplatives in the midst of the world. \u201cWhen prayed well in a truly meditative way,\u201d St. John Paul wrote, \u201cthe Rosary leads to an encounter with Christ in his mysteries and so cannot fail to draw attention to the face of Christ in others, especially in the most afflicted. How could one possibly contemplate the mystery of the Child of Bethlehem, in the joyful mysteries, without experiencing the desire to welcome, defend and promote life, and to shoulder the burdens of suffering children all over the world? How could one possibly follow in the footsteps of Christ the Revealer, in the mysteries of light, without resolving to bear witness to his \u2018Beatitudes\u2019 in daily life? And how could one contemplate Christ carrying the Cross and Christ Crucified, without feeling the need to act as a \u2018Simon of Cyrene\u2019 for our brothers and sisters weighed down by grief or crushed by despair? Finally, how could one possibly gaze upon the glory of the Risen Christ or of Mary Queen of Heaven, without yearning to make this world more beautiful, more just, more closely conformed to God\u2019s plan?\u201d The Rosary helps us to\u00a0<em>see and serve Jesus in others\u00a0<\/em>and to help us not only to live in his kingdom but help his kingdom come. In receiving him in our interior Bethany, we learn how to try to make the whole world a Bethany.<\/li>\n<li>Today we come here to sit at the feet of Jesus in the Mass, to listen to him and be fed by him, as our one thing necessary and the part better than all other parts of life combined. We\u2019re strengthened by him here to go out and serve him and others with the diligence of Martha and the contemplative heart of Mary of Bethany and Mary of Nazareth. And we\u2019re offered a lifeline of the compendium of the Gospel to lift us every upward as we pray together with our parish family and our families at home in the school of Mary so that together with her we may contemplate the Blessed Fruit of her womb in the mysteries of the Ascension, Assumption and Coronation with a \u201cglory\u201d be that will never cease!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>The readings for today\u2019s Mass were:<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"bibleReadingsWrapper\">\n<h4>Reading 1\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.usccb.org\/bible\/jonah\/3:1\">JON 3:1-10<\/a><\/h4>\n<div class=\"poetry\">The word of the LORD came to Jonah a second time:<br \/>\n\u201cSet out for the great city of Nineveh,<br \/>\nand announce to it the message that I will tell you.\u201d<br \/>\nSo Jonah made ready and went to Nineveh,<br \/>\naccording to the LORD\u2019s bidding.<br \/>\nNow Nineveh was an enormously large city;<br \/>\nit took three days to go through it.<br \/>\nJonah began his journey through the city,<br \/>\nand had gone but a single day\u2019s walk announcing,<br \/>\n\u201cForty days more and Nineveh shall be destroyed,\u201d<br \/>\nwhen the people of Nineveh believed God;<br \/>\nthey proclaimed a fast and all of them, great and small,<br \/>\nput on sackcloth.When the news reached the king of Nineveh,<br \/>\nhe rose from his throne, laid aside his robe,<br \/>\ncovered himself with sackcloth, and sat in the ashes.<br \/>\nThen he had this proclaimed throughout Nineveh,<br \/>\nby decree of the king and his nobles:<br \/>\n\u201cNeither man nor beast, neither cattle nor sheep,<br \/>\nshall taste anything;<br \/>\nthey shall not eat, nor shall they drink water.<br \/>\nMan and beast shall be covered with sackcloth<br \/>\nand call loudly to God;<br \/>\nevery man shall turn from his evil way<br \/>\nand from the violence he has in hand.<br \/>\nWho knows, God may relent and forgive,<br \/>\nand withhold his blazing wrath,<br \/>\nso that we shall not perish.\u201d<br \/>\nWhen God saw by their actions how they turned from their evil way,<br \/>\nhe repented of the evil that he had threatened to do to them;<br \/>\nhe did not carry it out.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"bibleReadingsWrapper\">\n<h4>Responsorial Psalm\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.usccb.org\/bible\/psalms\/130:1\">PS 130:1B-2, 3-4AB, 7-8<\/a><\/h4>\n<div class=\"poetry\">R.
