"Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word. But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her."
The Formation Day is shaping up well, although there is plenty of room for more people. As well as meeting each other and getting some information about the activities and history of the Order of Malta, the purpose of the Day is to help us both be more competent in our (very enjoyable) corporal works of mercy (Martha) but also set them in the context of our Faith (Mary).
We are very pleased that we will have present on the 19th Dr Mohidin Nurein, the medical director of the Lamu Maternity Shelter, one of our Kenyan projects.
