St. Martha Comments
"Jesus loved Martha and Mary and Lazarus." This unique statement in John's gospel tells us of the special relationship Jesus had with Martha, her sister, and her brother. Apparently Jesus was a frequent guest at Martha's home in Bethany, a small village two miles from Jerusalem. We read of three visits in Luke 10:38-42, John 11:1-53, and John 12:1-9. Many of us find it easy to identify with Martha in the story Luke tells. ... Continue Reading

Dearest St Martha,
Thank you for reaching out to me and finding me. Thank you for the generous offering of your faithful intercession. Since July 2012, I have said 3 novenas, and all have been answered generously, by your intercession.
Through your intercession, my faith in the Lord's goodness and providence, as well as an ardent desire to seek His will has grown tremendously.
Thank you for walking with me, and taking me under your care.
The last novena, came to an end of the Tuesday of the Holy Week (26th March 2013), during which the Lord provided me with a miraculous answer to my prayers. Continue to intercede and walk with us, St Martha, as we continue to seek and discern God's will for us. Amen.
Please forgive me St. Martha for going against your advice. You were helping me and I became impatient. I'm sorry. Please resume working with me and help me bring my situation to a resolution. I will continue to pray to you and perform a second novena to you.
St. Martha,thank you for listening to my prayers and restoring my hope. Please continue to work with me and bring about my one true dream. Thank you for for supporting me.

St Martha I thank you for your patience, understanding and guidance. I give thanks to you for honoring my petitions. I love you for the many things that you have shown me and taught me. I thank you
Thank you so much Saint Martha for all of your help, guidance, and support, I am so grateful to you for restoring my confidence after a very hard time I had.
Thank YOU Saint Martha for agreeing to work with me and giving me a SIGN the very next day after I prayed to you. I will do as I promised and place the roses on the altar today and will order your statue. I am so delighted to have your aid and I already know how STRONG you are as my beloved has called to check on me this morning (which he hasn't done in a year's time). Thank you, thank you, thank you Saint Martha!!!
Dear St. Martha, I promise you the most beautiful white flowers that I can find. Please reunite myself and my boyfriend. And, St. Martha, I take full responsibility for my faults and failings, but if you could just open this man's eyes to even see and change his faults so that our relationship can grow, and thrive and honor God, I would be forever grateful. Otherwise, St. Martha, if this is not a good relationship for us, please release me from all feelings for this man and let me feel no pain.
St Matha, I have petitioned you for 8 Tuesdays. Today is the 9th. I am begging to bring my family together. I offer true love and devotion for as long as I shall live.
Dear St. Martha
I will start my prayers to you for 9 Tuesdays tomorrow. I come to thee with full fair and devotion and seek your help and blessings to get the love of my life to think about me and call me, love me and marry me. I will be always greatful to you and offer you candle light and bowl of water every Tuesday and white flowers on the 9th Tuesday. St. Martha please help me and listen to my prayers like you do for everyone and I promise I'll be helpful to others and always thank you :)
Amen and thank you.
I am new to praying and learning about Saint Martha but I feel so much better just not sure ifduring my novena if i keep my candle lit or light it every Tuesday for 9 Tuesday's if anyone knows please let me know thank you
I have just started to develop and relationship with St. Martha. I am simply amazed with how much I have learned and realize she has been with me and I didnt even know it. I feel such a warmth and love I have never felt before. The first day the feeling was so strong I cried because I had never felt the feeling before.
I am a true worrier. I worry all the time. I want to develop a relationship with her and begin to encoounter more of her blessings. I need guidance and direction because no one has ever mentioned her to me. She just made herself known to me.
As I type I am getting teary yed because it simply amazes me how much care, love, patience and attention she has put into us establishing a relationship. I am super anxious to learn and grow with her.
Thank you St. Martha for allowing me to be aware of you and your love. I look forward to developing a relationship with you. Thjank you so much for your patience and understanding with me. Thank you so much St. Martha all I can say is Thank You!!!

I was so lonely and losing hope and I prayed to St. Martha to have God send me the man he wants me to marry and to know without a doubt it is him..well, it is amazing because before the ninth Tuesday I ran into an old family friend and here I am nine months later engaged! He is a man of faith and I am beside myself this novenas works so much in fact I prayed with my younger sister who was giving up on finding an honest, sweet and sincere man when before the ninth Tuesday she started dating her now boyfriend. To all those in need of a miracle St. Martha is nothing short of amazing Through God...and St. Jude, st. Therese, St. Ann, St. Anthony, St. Bernadette, St. Philomema and St. Padre Pio too! Thank you God oh mericful God.
