Saint Martha
Faith (
1st Century Anno Domini A.D.) Feast: 29 July
Saints Who Exemplify the Virtues
Martha features in 2 moments in the Scriptures. In that short space, a picture emerges of a woman who moves from anxiety to deep & abiding faith. When we first meet her (Luke 10:38-42), she is serving at dinner 
while her sister Mary sits & listens at the Master 's feet.
Martha pleads with Jesus 
to direct her sister to help her. But Jesus instead chides Martha. She is worried about many things, he tells her, but "Mary has chosen the better part & it will not be taken from her." When next we meet Martha (John 11:1-44), Christ has arrived at Bethany , where her brother Lazarus has just died 🪦 Again, Mary sits as her sister rushes out to see the Lord.

"Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died," she anxiously tells him. But after the Lord corrects her, she professes with fervor and great faith: "Now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you." This deep confidence in Christ provokes his revelation: "I am the resurrection and the life; whoever believes in me, even if he dies, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die."

Jesus then asks Martha , "Do you believe this?" And Martha 's response is confident and firm: "Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, the one who is coming into the world." Martha is the patroness of housewives 
domestic servants, & cooks & people who fight off dragons with crucifixes
