The Raising of Lazarus
Martha and Mary
Lk 10:38-43
In 2021 Pope Francis named this day a memorial for all three siblings, Martha, Mary and Lazarus. In the optional Gospel readings from John and Luke, we see the deep love Jesus feels for this family. At the same time, we see the faith filled response of each to his presence and their developing belief.
Jesus, there are families who hold you in their hearts and their homes. We ask you to foster desire and belief in those who live without you.
