![Martha: Martha, Mary and their brother Lazarus were evidently close
friends of Jesus. He came to their home simply as a welcomed guest,
rather than as one celebrating the conversion of a sinner like Zacchaeus
or one unceremoniously received by a suspicious Pharisee. The sisters
feel free to call on Jesus at their brother’s death, even though a
return to Judea at that time seems almost certain death.
<p>No doubt Martha was an active sort of person. On one occasion
(see Luke 10:38-42) she prepares the meal for Jesus and possibly his
fellow guests and forthrightly states the obvious: All hands should
pitch in to help with the dinner.
</p><p>Yet, as biblical scholar Father John McKenzie points
out, she need not be rated as an “unrecollected activist.” The
evangelist is emphasizing what our Lord said on several occasions about
the primacy of the spiritual: “...[D]o not worry about your life, what
you will eat [or drink], or about your body, what you will wear….But
seek first the kingdom [of God] and his righteousness” (Matthew 6:25b,
33a); “One does not live by bread alone” (Luke 4:4b); “Blessed are they
who hunger and thirst for righteousness…” (Matthew 5:6a).
</p><p>Martha’s great glory is her simple and strong
statement of faith in Jesus after her brother’s death. “Jesus told her,
‘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. Do you believe this?’ She said to him, ‘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).</p>](http://www.americancatholic.org/gfx/SaintOfDayLogo.jpg)
