00:00On July 29, the church celebrates Martha and Lazarus, brothers and sisters of Mary, close friends of Jesus, living in Betania.
00:12This day reminds us of simple faith, generous hospitality and the power of the resurrection.
00:20Martha, Lazarus and their sister Mary often welcomed Jesus into their home.
00:27Martha took care of the service generously, while Lazarus was a silent, but precious friend.
00:35Their home became a haven of rest for Christ.
00:39When Lazarus died, Martha went to meet Jesus with her moving words.
00:45Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.
00:50And despite her pain, she added, "I know that whatever you ask of God, God will grant it to you."
00:59His faith will become an unforgettable testimony.
01:03Jesus goes to the tomb, deeply moved.
01:06He cries, prays, then screams.
01:09Lazarus, come out!
01:11And the dead man comes out, alive.
01:13This immense miracle reveals the glory of God and announces the resurrection of all those who believe.
01:20According to tradition, Martha and Lazarus were persecuted after Jesus' resurrection.
01:27Exiled, they would have found refuge in Provence.
01:30Martha is said to have evangelized Tarascon.
01:33Lazarus would have become the first bishop of Marseille.
01:37Martha teaches us active and trusting faith.
01:41Martha, Lazarus, the silence of the faithful friend.
01:45Together, they remind us that the love of Christ is stronger than death.
01:52Prayer to Martha and Lazarus
01:54Lord Jesus,
01:58You who found refuge in Martha's house,
02:01Mary and Lazarus,
02:03Grant that we may open our hearts to your presence as they did.
02:06Through the intercession of Martha,
02:08Make us attentive to service.
02:10Through the intercession of Lazarus,
02:13Strengthen our faith in your victory over death.
02:17That following their example,
02:19We lived in friendship with you,
02:21Today and forever and ever.
02:25Amen.
