Mary and Martha

Tuesday, July 29, the Church remembers St. Martha, sister of Mary and Lazarus. Did you ever quietly wonder why Martha got gently corrected for working hard and Mary praised for sitting on her posterior? Is the Lord endorsing laziness? Check out our contemporary commentary and get some clarity and inspiration. Then check out an ancient reflection by a doctor of the Church.
Devotion to the souls in Purgatory contains in itself all the works of mercy, which supernaturalized by a spirit of faith, should merit us Heaven. de Sales
