St. Martha


 SAINT MARTHA,  sister of Mary and Lazarus, close friends of Jesus. No doubt Martha was an active sort of person. On one occasion (see Luke 10:38-42) she prepares the meal for Jesus who pointed out the primacy of the spiritual but did not condemn her act of hospitality.

Martha’s great glory is her simple and strong statement of faith in Jesus after her brother’s death. ‘Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, the one who is coming into the world’ (John 11:25-27).
