The Memorial of Saint Martha

Today is the feast of Saint Martha, and the readings explore what it looks like to hold onto faith in God even when life brings grief, confusion, or a sense of abandonment. Jeremiah cries out from a place of deep suffering, wrestling honestly with God, while Martha's encounter with Jesus at the tomb of her brother invites us to listen for what she comes to believe—and why. Today's Readings: • First Reading: Jeremiah 15:10, 16-21 • Gospel: John 11:19-27
