We all have ups and downs in life and this is also true of our love for Jesus. There are times we love Him with all our heart, soul, and mind, and other times we love Him as an afterthought.

How can we cultivate a habit of the heart where we regularly and joyfully live in obedience and worship of Jesus? I believe we can learn from the saints and spiritual fathers in the contemplative tradition.

We will look at two sisters in the Bible who are often pitted against each other as one being better than the other; but the saints and spiritual fathers teach that it is better to learn a little bit from Mary, and a little bit from Martha.
