Welcoming Jesus' friendship

The Church has designated every July 29 as the feast day of these siblings. They were close friends of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Martha generously offered Christ hospitality. We become like her when we feed, clothe, and care for Jesus in the hungry, thirsty, naked, and sick. (Mat 25:31-46). Yet, we must always avoid sterile activism.

Mary, on her turn, listened attentively to Jesus. We must begin our days at his feet in order to offer him plans and activities.

It is important for us to spend time in adoration of the blessed sacramen.

Lazarus was our Lord's friend who allowed himself to be loved. He opened his home to Jesus, and when he died, Jesus manifested through him his authority and power over death.

May we welcome Jesus in our lives and accept his friendship and love!

Happy New week!
