Let my eyes stream
with tears
day and night, without rest,
Over the great destruction which overwhelms
the virgin daughter of my people,
over her incurable wound.
If I walk out into the field,
look! those slain by the sword;
If I enter the city,
look! those consumed by hunger.
Even the prophet and the priest
forage in a land they know not.
Have you cast Judah off completely?
Is Zion loathsome to you?
Why have you struck us a blow
that cannot be healed?
We wait for peace, to no avail;
for a time of healing, but terror comes instead.
We recognize, O LORD, our wickedness,
the guilt of our fathers;
that we have sinned against you.
For your name’s sake spurn us not,
disgrace not the throne of your glory;
remember your covenant with us, and break it not.
Among the nations’ idols is there any that gives rain?
Or can the mere heavens send showers?
Is it not you alone, O LORD,
our God, to whom we look?
You alone have done all these things.

may your compassion quickly come to us,
for we are brought very low.

Gospel JN 11:19-27
Many of the Jews
had come to Martha and Mary
to comfort them about their brother [Lazarus, who had died].
When Martha heard that Jesus was coming,
she went to meet him;
but Mary sat at home.
Martha said to Jesus,
“Lord, if you had been here,
my brother would not have died.
But even now I know that whatever you ask of God,
God will give you.”
Jesus said to her,
“Your brother will rise.”
Martha said to him,
“I know he will rise,
in the resurrection on the last day.”
Jesus told her,
“I am the resurrection and the life;
whoever believes in me, even if he dies, will live,
and anyone who lives and believes in me will never die.
Do you believe this?”
She said to him, “Yes, Lord.
I have come to believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God,
the one who is coming into the world.”

Or LK 10:38-42
Jesus entered a
village
where a woman whose name was Martha welcomed him.
She had a sister named Mary
who sat beside the Lord at his feet listening to him speak.
Martha, burdened with much serving, came to him and said,
“Lord, do you not care
that my sister has left me by myself to do the serving?
Tell her to help me.”
The Lord said to her in reply,
“Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things.
There is need of only one thing.
Mary has chosen the better part
and it will not be taken from her.”

Meditation: Martha
said to Jesus, "I know he will rise again"
What gives us hope
and joy in the face of death? The loss of a loved one naturally produces grief
and anguish of heart. When Martha, the sister of Lazarus and a close friend of
Jesus, heard that Jesus was coming to pay respects for the loss of Lazarus, she
immediately went out to meet him before he could get to her house. What
impelled her to leave the funeral party in order to seek Jesus out? Was it
simply the companionship and consolation of a friend who loved her brother
deeply? Or did she recognize in Jesus the hope that God would restore life?
Jesus strengthens
us in faith and hope
Martha, like many Orthodox Jews, believed in the life to come. The loss of her brother did not diminish her hope in the resurrection. She even gently chides Jesus for not coming soon enough to save Lazarus from an untimely death. Jesus does something unexpected and remarkable both to strengthen her faith and hope in the life to come and to give her a sign of what he was to accomplish through his own death and resurrection. Jesus gave to her belief a new and profound meaning: He came from the Father to defeat sin and death for us and to restore life to those who believe in him.

Jesus gives
abundant life now and forever
Jesus states unequivocally the he himself is the Resurrection and the Life. The life he offers is abundant life - life which issues from God himself. And everlasting life - the fulness of life which knows no end. Do you seek the abundant life which Jesus offers to those who believe in him?

John 11:19-27
And many of the
Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them about their brother. When
Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him; but Mary sat at
home. Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother
would not have died. But even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God
will give you." Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise."
Martha said to him, "I know he will rise, in the resurrection on the
last day." Jesus told her, "I am the resurrection and the life;
whoever believes in me, even if he dies, will live, and everyone who lives
and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?" She said to
him, "Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Messiah, the
Son of God, the one who is coming into the world."
Introductory
Prayer: Heavenly Father, once again I renew my faith in your
plan for my life. I trust in your loving providence, and I know that no one
can snatch me from your hands. You know well that I love you. I wish to be
more open and docile to your plan and action in my life. Take this time that
I now set aside for prayer. Take my mind, will and heart; take my gifts and
talents. I lay them at your feet through this prayer. Do with me today
according to your holy and loving plan. Amen.
Petition: Lord Jesus,
deepen my faith in your resurrection.
1. Do You Believe
This? This is the fundamental question in our life of faith:
do we, in fact, believe it all? Do we really believe that the human race was
mysteriously subjected to the catastrophic consequences of our first parents’
disobedience to the divine will? Do we really believe what we say in the
Creed every Sunday? Do we believe that Jesus of Nazareth died and rose from
the dead to conquer sin, and now lives to draw all people to himself as their
savior? The great challenge for the Christian in our thoroughly post-modern,
post-Christian, technical age is to unabashedly say “Yes!”
2. Keeping Faith
Simple: One of the greatest challenges in the Christian life is
to keep our faith simple. Our tendency is toward sophistication and
complication. While certainly the ability to think and reason well is a gift
and has its place in the Christian life, we must be equally aware that the
in-born tendency to rationalism can be a non-starter for a genuine life of
faith. We cannot afford to fall into today’s error of trying to size God down
according to our meager perceptions and self-centered attitudes. Christ is
much more; God ways are far more sublime than what our limited vision can
create. A simple faith is so pleasing to God because then he has leeway for
his supernatural action. Then he can do something within us and through us.
3. Keeping Faith
Robust: This simple faith can and must launch us upward and
outward in the task of bringing Christ’s love to every soul. Our simple faith
can rapidly ignite and convert us into relentless apostles of the Kingdom,
like St. Paul. We need to make his words our own: “What will separate us from
the love of Christ? Will anguish, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or
nakedness, or peril, or the sword? (…) No, in all these things we conquer
overwhelmingly through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither
death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor present things, nor
future things, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature will
be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans
8:35-39).
Conversation with
Christ: Lord Jesus, give me strength to bear the burden of
drawing others closer to you. Let me feel, with St. Paul, the sting of “Woe
to me if I do not preach the Gospel!” And when I do set out to give others
reasons for my faith, accompany me with your Holy Spirit to give success to
my poor efforts.
Resolution: For love of
Jesus, I will renew, refresh and invigorate the act of faith with which I
begin every day in my morning offering.
UESDAY,
JULY 29, JOHN 11:19-27
(Jeremiah 14:17-22, Psalm 79)  KEY VERSE: "I have come to believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God" (v 27). READING: Martha, Mary and their brother Lazarus were good friends of Jesus. When Jesus heard that Lazarus was gravely ill, he made plans to go to their home in Bethany, which was near Jerusalem where his passion and death awaited him. Jesus was delayed in coming, and upon his arrival, Martha told Jesus that he was too late; her brother had already died. Although she reproached Jesus for not coming sooner, she declared her faith in Jesus that God would give him whatever she asked. Jesus told Martha that he was the "resurrection and the life" (v 25), and all who believed in him would share eternal life with him. Jesus asked Martha if she believed his words, and she responded with the same profession of faith that Peter spoke at Caesarea Philippi: "You are the Messiah, the Son of God" (Mt 16:16). REFLECTING: In what ways can I help others cope with their grief? PRAYING: Lord Jesus, give me the faith to believe in the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come.
Memorial of
Martha
 Martha was the sister of Mary and Lazarus, whom Jesus raised from the dead. The three shared a household in Bethany, and were friends of Jesus. In the famous incident in Luke's gospel, Martha was hostess to Jesus in her house. She demanded that Jesus tell her sister Mary to help her. Jesus commended Mary as choosing the better part, sitting at Jesus' feet and learning from him. Martha and her sister Mary were not only related by blood but also by religious aspirations. They stayed close to our Lord and both served him. Martha may have been part of an early mission to France. She is also known as the "Wonder Worker of Gaul." Do not grieve or complain that you were born in a time when you can no longer see God in the flesh. He did not in fact take this privilege from you. As he says, "Whatever you have done to the least of my brothers, you did to me."-- from a sermon by Saint Augustine

MEDITATIONS
The
Ten Commandments
The
commandments are a gift, not a curse. Sin is less about breaking the rules
and more about breaking the Father’s heart.

For the glory of your name, O Lord, deliver us
Then the virtuous will shine like the sun.Judgmental people, experts in distinguishing wheat from darnel, have a tendency to anticipate the Last Judgment by arrogating to themselves a role that belongs to God who alone sees into the human heart. Elsewhere in the gospel text Jesus identifies them as having a plank in their eye while they focus on the speck in the eye of another (Matthew 7:3-5). We would be better occupied in uprooting the darnel in our own lives than in drawing attention to its presence in the lives of others. As Paul reminded the Roman Christians: ‘In passing judgment on another you condemn yourself’ (Romans 2:1). ‘Lord Jesus, let me know myself and know you, and desire nothing save only you’ (St Augustine).

St. Martha
St. Martha
Martha, Mary and their brother Lazarus were evidently close
friends of Jesus. He came to their home simply as a welcomed guest, rather than
as one celebrating the conversion of a sinner like Zacchaeus or one
unceremoniously received by a suspicious Pharisee. The sisters feel free to
call on Jesus at their brother’s death, even though a return to Judea at that
time seems almost certain death.
No doubt
Martha was an active sort of person. On one occasion (see Luke 10:38-42) she
prepares the meal for Jesus and possibly his fellow guests and forthrightly
states the obvious: All hands should pitch in to help with the dinner.
Yet, as
biblical scholar Father John McKenzie points out, she need not be rated as an
“unrecollected activist.” The evangelist is emphasizing what our Lord said on
several occasions about the primacy of the spiritual: “...[D]o not worry about
your life, what you will eat [or drink], or about your body, what you will wear….
But seek first the kingdom [of God] and his righteousness” (Matthew 6:25b,
33a); “One does not live by bread alone” (Luke 4:4b); “Blessed are they who
hunger and thirst for righteousness…” (Matthew 5:6a).
Martha’s
great glory is her simple and strong statement of faith in Jesus after her
brother’s death. “Jesus told her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life; whoever
believes in me, even if he dies, will live, and everyone who lives and believes
in me will never die. Do you believe this?’ She said to him, ‘Yes, Lord. I have
come to believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, the one who is coming
into the world’” (John 11:25-27).
Comment:
Scripture commentators point out that in writing his account of the raising of Lazarus, St. John intends that we should see Martha’s words to Mary before tLazarus was raised as a summons that every Christian must obey. In her saying “The teacher is here and is asking for you,” Jesus is calling every one of us to resurrection—now in baptismal faith, forever in sharing his victory over death. And all of us, as well as these three friends, are in our own unique way called to special friendship with him.

LECTIO DIVINA:
ST. MARTHA - LK. 10,38-42
Lectio:
Tuesday, July 29, 2014
Ordinary Time
1) Opening prayer
God our Father and protector,
without you nothing is holy,
nothing has value.
Guide us to everlasting life
by helping us to use wisely
the blessings you have given to the world.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
2) Gospel Reading - Luke 10,38-42
In the course of their journey Jesus came to a village, and a woman named Martha welcomed him into her house. She had a sister called Mary, who sat down at the Lord's feet and listened to him speaking. Now Martha, who was distracted with all the serving, came to him and said, 'Lord, do you not care that my sister is leaving me to do the serving all by myself? Please tell her to help me.'
But the Lord answered, 'Martha, Martha,' he said, 'you worry and fret about so many things, and yet few are needed, indeed only one. It is Mary who has chosen the better part, and it is not to be taken from her.'
3) Reflection
• The dynamics of the account. The condition of Jesus as an itinerant Teacher offers Martha the possibility to receive him in her house. This account presents the attitude of both sisters: Mary sitting down at Jesus’ feet is all taken up listening to his Word; Martha, instead, is taken up completely by many services and she gets close to Jesus to protest about her sister’s behaviour. The dialogue between Jesus and Martha occupies a long space in the account (vv.40b-42): Martha begins with a rhetorical question, “Lord, do you not care that my sister is leaving me to do the serving all by myself?”; then she asks for the intervention of Jesus so that he can call the sister back to the domestic work which she has abandoned: «Tell her to help me”. Jesus answers in an affectionate tone; this is the sense of the repetition of the name, “Martha, Martha”: he reminds her that she is concerned about “many things”, and in reality she needs “only one” and he concludes recalling that the sister has chosen the best part, and will not be taken away from her. Luke has built up this account on a contrast: the two different personalities of Martha and Mary; the first one is all taken up by “many things”, the second one does not do even one, she is all taken up with listening to the Master. The purpose of this contrast is to underline the attitude of Mary who dedicates herself to listen fully and totally to the Master, thus becoming the model of every believer.
• The person of Martha. She is the one who takes the initiative to receive Jesus in her house. In dedicating herself to receive the Master she is full of anxiety for the multiplicity of things to be prepared and by the tension of seeing herself alone to do it all. She is taken up by so much work, she is anxious, and experiences a great tension. Therefore, Martha “goes to Jesus” and addresses him a legitimate question for help: why should she be left alone by the sister. Jesus answers seeing that she is only worried, she is divided in the heart between the desire of serving Jesus with a meal worthy of his person and the desire to dedicate herself to listen to him. Jesus, therefore, does not disapprove the service of Martha, but only the anxiety with which she does it. But before, Jesus had explained in the parable of the sower that the seed that fell among the thorns recalls the situation of those who listen to the Word, but allow themselves to be taken up by other concerns (Lk 8, 14). Therefore, Jesus does not disapprove the work of Martha, the value of acceptance and welcoming concerning his person but he warns the woman about the risks in which she may fall: the anxiety and agitation. Jesus had already said something about these risks: “Seek first the Kingdom of Heaven, and everything else will be given to you as well” (Lk 12, 31).
• The person of Mary. She is the one who accepts the Word: she is described with the imperfect form: “she listened”, a continuing action in listening to the Word of Jesus. Mary’s attitude is in contrast with that full of anxiety and tension of her sister. Jesus says that Mary has preferred “the best part” that corresponds to the listening of his Word. From the Word of Jesus the reader learns that there are not two parts of which one is qualitatively better than the other, but there is only the good one: to accept His Word. This attitude does not mean the evasion from one’s own tasks or daily responsibilities, but only the knowledge that listening to the Word precedes every service, every activity.
• Balance between action and contemplation. Luke is particularly attentive to link listening to the Word, to relationship with the Lord. It is not a question of dividing the day in times dedicated to prayer and others to service, but attention to the Word precedes and accompanies the service. The desire to listen to God cannot be substituted by other activity: it is necessary to dedicate a certain time and place to seek the Lord. The commitment to cultivate listening to the Word comes from the attention to God: everything can contribute: the environment of the place, the time. However, the desire to encounter God should come from within one’s own heart. There is no technical element which automatically leads one to encounter God. It is a problem of love: it is necessary to listen to Jesus, to be with Him, and then the gift is communicated, and falling in love begins. The balance between listening and service involves all believers; in family life as well as in professional and social life: What can we do so that baptized persons persevere and attain the maturity of faith? We should educate ourselves to listen to the Word of God. This is the most difficult but surest way to attain maturity of faith.

4) Personal questions
• Do I know how to create in my life situations and itineraries of listening? Do I limit myself only to listen to the Word of God in Church, or rather, do I dedicate myself to personal and profound listening looking for suitable times and places?
• Do you limit yourself to a private use of the Word or do you proclaim it in order to become light for others and not only a lamp which lights one’s own private life?

5) Concluding Prayer
Yahweh, who can find a home in your tent,
who can dwell on your holy mountain?
Whoever lives blamelessly, who acts uprightly,
who speaks the truth from the heart. (Ps 15,1-2)
