Saint Martha is an example of spiritual growth and maturity in the Gospels. She is only mentioned by Saint Luke and Saint John as the woman who was upset with her sister, Mary, who sat at Jesus’ feet while she prepared the food (Luke 10:38-42) and the woman who proclaimed that if Jesus had been there, her brother Lazarus would not have died (John 11:20-27). She also plays a role as the server at the supper for Jesus where Mary anointed his feet (John 12:2).
