The feast of Martha that was celebrated on July 29 is now the feast of the siblings Mary, Martha, and Lazarus. Below are the new prayers for that feast day:
Collect Prayer:
Grant, we pray, almighty God,
that the example of your Saints may spur us on to a better life,
so that we, who celebrate the memory of Saints Martha, Mary and Lazarus,
may also imitate without ceasing their deeds.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. AMEN.
Prayer over the Offerings
As we proclaim your wonders in your Saints, O Lord, we humbly implore your majesty,
that, as their homage of love was pleasing to you,
so, too, our dutiful service may find favor in your sight. Through Christ our Lord.
Communion Antiphon - Martha said to Jesus: You are the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming into this world.
Prayer after Communion
May the holy reception of the Body and Blood of your Only Begotten Son, O Lord,
turn us away from the cares of this fallen world,
so that, following the example of Saints Martha, Mary and Lazarus, we may grow in sincere love for you on earth
and rejoice to behold you for eternity in heaven. Through Christ our Lord. AMEN.
