The New Martha answers the call to perform Works of Mercy
* Inspirational and Spiritual Companionship* We go to the homes of our service recipients and parishioners to pray the Holy Rosary with them and their families.
* Adoration, Monday, 5:00 AM
* Communal Prayers for Special Intentions, every first Thursday and third Thursday. We meet at the Stations of the Cross garden and pray the Chaplet of the Most Precious Blood and The Litany of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. We read the names of the people listed in the bulletin for prayer request and the ACTS prayer request. We also accept all prayer request and added them to our list.
Vision: We will take up the lowest position to honor this noble work of being a lowly servants for the people of our church and our community. We will live our lives as instruments of God using our given talents to respond daily of His command, “Love your neighbor”.
“For even the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve, and give His life as ransom for many,” (Mark 10:45) .
* * Celebration and Party – Feast Day of Saint Martha, July 29 * *

Mission:
I watched my Martha Sisters serving today. One was carefully dusting shelves full of small porcelains and old precious collections. One was sweeping, vacuuming and spraying the floor. One was busy cleaning in the TV room. One was on her knees scrubbing the toilet floor, stretching her arms to clean the back of the toilet bowl.
Humility makes what we do acceptable to God, and charity sums up our true relationship to God and to our neighbor.
O Jesus! meek and humble of heart, Hear me.
From the desire of being esteemed, loved, extolled, honored, praised, preferred to others, consulted and approved; Deliver me and make me holy, Jesus.
All the work we do is for the glory of God!
GOD BLESS ALL MARTHA SISTERS. Let us continue to pray for each other and pray for the New Martha Ministry.
Best Wishes,
Elma
