ask for help whenever you need

In today's gospel reading (Luke 10: 38-42) is about Jesus visits Martha and Mary...

Jesus had two friends named Mary and martha who were sisters. One day, He travelled and stopped at Martha's home to visit. Mary was also there. The two sisters were happy to see Jesus. Martha went right to work fixing food and cleaning. She wanted everything perfect for Jesus.

While Martha worked, Mary sat at Jesus' feet, listening to Him. When Martha noticed how Mary was sitting with Jesus, instead of helping, she became angry. "Lord," said Martha, "see how Mary just sits while I do all the work. You should tell her to help me!"

"Martha, Martha," said Jesus calmly, "you are bothered by so many little things. Do you know what is really necessary?" Martha looked at Jesus with a puzzled face. "Mary made the right choice," said Jesus. "And it won't be taken from her."

SFX, Fr. Albert's homily stated that, whenever we needs help, we should ask for it! A story telling from Fr. Albert:

There was a famous university with an experienced old lecturer. Many students from all countries purposely signed up for the course to sit for his lecture. In the first lecture, the lecture hall was packed with students. All were excited to learn from him.

The old lecturer came in, and distributed sheets of questions for the students to answer. A thick set of questions! Students tooks the question papers and started to answer. Two hours passed, the old lecturer collected the paper and went out, without saying a single word.

The second lecture, the old lecturer came in and distributed the same amount of questions. Students were irritated of the way the old lecturer did, and they found it harder and harder to answer the questions set! Also, he collected the papers after two hours and walked away, without saying a single word.

On the third lecture, as usual, he distributed the question papers. He sat down. A moment later, he saw an arm on the air. "Sir, how we gonna solve the questions since you do not teach us?" A student said. "Finally, there's someone who keens to ask for help" said the old lecturer, "Do you know the reason why you are here?"

The students silent.

"You are here to learn from me, but not here to listen to what I lecture!" said the old lecturer, "Ask for help when you are needed! Don't be bothered of all the other things around you. The way to success is ask for help!"

Truely, as we are born to this simple but complicated world, we should be enthusiastic to learn. Lots of knowledges are waiting us to treasure about! We have to know what is really neccessary and the importances of seeking help, to God in the special case. It's really works!!
