Biography
Martha, Mary, and Lazarus appear in the Gospels as siblings from Bethany and friends of Jesus. In their home, the Lord found welcome, conversation, tears, and faith.
Their memorial recalls complementary dimensions of Christian life: attentive service, listening to the Word, and trust in Christ before death. Bethany becomes an image of a home open to the Lord.
They inspire us to receive Jesus in daily life, balance action and prayer, and bring family sorrows to him with concrete trust.
