St. Martha is one of the women whom I think we should honor as a Mother of the Church.
Prayer
O blessed St. Martha, your faith led Jesus to proclaim,
“I am the resurrection and the lifeâ€;
and faith let you see beyond his humanity when you cried out,
“Lord I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God.â€
With firm hope you said, “I know that God will give you whatever
you ask of himâ€, and Jesus called your brother Lazarus back from the dead.
With pure love for Jesus you welcomed him into your home.
Friend and servant of our Savior, I too am “troubled about many thingsâ€.
Pray for me that I may grow in faith, hope and love,
and that Jesus, who sat at your table,
will hear me
and grant me a place at the banquet of eternal life.
Amen.
