Friday 17th Week of Ordinary Time

 

The Feasts of Martha, Mary and LazarusCrucifix statue on green grass


Whenever Jesus would go to Jerusalem
He would stay at the house of his friends,
Mary, Martha and Lazarus in Bethany on the Mount of Olives.

It was there that He could relax from the crowds pressing on Him,
And the Pharisees questioning Him.

They were His friends
And He felt at home in their house.

Are we good friends with Jesus,
Or just acquaintances?

Does Jesus feel at home in our hearts?
Or does He look for other places to stay?
