History
Saint Martha was the sister of Lazarus and Mary. In the
Gospel of Luke, we learn that when Jesus and His disciples came to visit Martha and her family,
she immediately set to work to serve them, but her sister Mary simply sat and
listened to Jesus’ teaching. Martha didn’t think this was fair and asked Jesus
to tell Mary to get to work. Instead, Jesus told Martha that it was better that
she join them, rather than worrying about what was serving. Martha is a saint
who understands that sometimes the things we “should” be doing are not as
important as spending time with Jesus.
