Martha went to meet Him

“When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him.” (JN 11: 20)

Martha was always listening to Our Lord, always ready to go wherever Jesus was. She was more practical than her sister, but it doesn’t mean she was less loving to Him. It doesn’t matter which way we are using to go to Jesus—contemplation or action, as long as He is the center of our lives.

“I am the light of the world, says the Lord; whoever follows me will have the light of life.” (Gospel Acclamation)
