Today, the Church celebrates Martha, the saint who was of great help to her poor and needy neighbours, and she is an example to be followed as a trail for those who want to be disciples of Jesus and worthy heirs of the Kingdom of Heaven.

If this is the case, know that the lives of the saints are a great example for us: St. Anthony, barely 18 years old, left the world to live alone in the desert; St. Francis of Assisi, who accepted the Gospel as the foundation of his life and attached himself to nothing in it; St. Ignatius, who changed his life after reading the biographies of many saints, and St. Teresa of the Child Jesus, who boldly declared: "I do not regret dedicating myself to the Love of Jesus". Because they are the ones who accomplished what Jesus said in the Gospel.

It is as if someone had found a precious treasure and as the trader had found a rare pearl. So, despite the trials of a stressful and anxious life due to this disease in our country; remember that He does not leave us alone and that Jesus has never disappointed us. He does not demagogue those who follow Him and become attached to Him, but He always answers prayers and answers them when He knows they are for our good. He is therefore right when He says, "Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be given you above" (Luke 12, 31).
