Mission:
I watched my Martha Sisters serving today. One was carefully dusting shelves full of small porcelains and old precious collections. One was sweeping, vacuuming and spraying the floor. One was busy cleaning in the TV room. One was on her knees scrubbing the toilet floor, stretching her arms to clean the back of the toilet bowl.
Humility makes what we do acceptable to God, and charity sums up our true relationship to God and to our neighbor.
O Jesus! meek and humble of heart, Hear me.
From the desire of being esteemed, loved, extolled, honored, praised, preferred to others, consulted and approved; Deliver me and make me holy, Jesus.
All the work we do is for the glory of God!
GOD BLESS ALL MARTHA SISTERS. Let us continue to pray for each other and pray for the New Martha Ministry.
Best Wishes,
Elma
