Saint Martha Novena // Day 1

Join us in praying the Saint Martha Novena leading up to the Memorial of Saints Martha, Mary and Lazarus.

In previous episodes of the podcast, the idea of being a "recovering Martha" has come up again and again. "Martha" embodying the idea that we have to strive to earn the love of God through our accomplishments as Martha worked while Mary sat at the feet of Jesus.

In the first day of this novena, we seek solace under Saint Martha's intercession. Just as she welcomed Jesus into her home, we too strive to open our hearts to his divine presence.
