Lord Jesus, as Saint Martha welcomed You into her home, welcome me also into Your divine presence

Teach me to serve with zeal as she did, yet never forget to choose the "better part" like her sister Mary

Grant me a heart that loves deeply, serves faithfully, and believes in You even in sorrow and death, just as Martha said, I know my brother will rise

Help me live in Your love and persevere in both faith and action

.Amen
