Memorial of Saint Martha

-----

Gospel : John 11:19-27

19 Many of the Jews had joined the women around Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.

20 Then when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary stayed in the house.

21 Therefore Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn't have died.

22 Even now I know that, whatever you ask of God, God will give you."

23 Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again."

24 Martha said to him, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day."

25 Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies.

26 Whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?"

27 She said to him, "Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Christ, God's Son, he who comes into the world."

Jeremiah 15:10, 16-21

10 Woe is me, my mother, that you have borne me a man of strife
and a man of contention to the whole earth!
I have not lent, neither have men lent to me;
yet everyone of them curses me.

16 Your words were found,
and I ate them.
Your words were to me a joy and the rejoicing of my heart,
for I am called by your name, the LORD, God of Armies.

17 I didn't sit in the assembly of those who make merry, nor rejoiced;
I sat alone because of your hand;
for you have filled me with indignation.

18 Why is my pain perpetual,
and my wound incurable,
which refuses to be healed?
Will you indeed be to me as a deceitful brook,
like waters that fail?

19 Therefore the LORD says,
"If you return, then I will bring you again,
that you may stand before me;
and if you take out the precious from the vile,
you shall be as my mouth.
They shall return to you,
but you shall not return to them.

20 I will make you to this people a fortified bronze wall;
and they shall fight against you,
but they shall not prevail against you;
for I am with you to save you
and to deliver you," says the LORD.

21 "I will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked,
and I will redeem you out of the hand of the terrible."
