Description
We reflect on the Church’s memorial of Saints Martha, Mary, and Lazarus and why it points us toward holiness lived in friendship and family. Bethany becomes our model for a Christian home where service, prayer, and witness make Jesus feel welcome.
• Pope Francis expanding the memorial and what it teaches about shared holiness
• Bethany as a real place of rest for Jesus and a model for Christian hospitality
• Martha and the difference between serving and being anxious
• Mary and the priority of prayer before work
• Lazarus as silent proof that Christ raises the dead
• Jesus asking for belief rather than perfect understanding
• A closing examen on whether our homes invite Jesus back
