Saints celebrated on the 29th of July
Regarding the Feast of SS. Martha, Mary and Lazarus
SAINT MARTHA OF BETHANY
Martha is the sister of Mary and Lazarus: she appears in the Gospel three times – when she receives the Lord into her house and waits on him (Luke 10:38-42); at the resurrection of Lazarus, when she proclaims her faith in Jesus, “son of the living God”; and in John 12:2, at the meal given to Jesus six days before the Passover.
PRAYER:
Father,
your Son honoured Saint Martha
by coming to her home as a guest.
By her prayers
may we serve Christ in our brothers and sisters
and be welcomed by you into heaven, our true home.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
