I just celebrated my Feast Day (St Martha).

Our new priest told me the other day. That is was no mistake that I got that name.

I always thought she got a bum deal with that reputation. She was one of the first to acknowledge Christ as the Messiah.

Yes, that's true. St. Martha's confession of Christ is a very beautiful passage.

St. Martha is one of my saints.

St. Anthony of Padua is the other. He's my brave big brother who stoops kindly to listen to his pesky little sister.
