Saint Martha’s Story Martha, Mary, and their brother Lazarus were evi-dently close friends of Jesus. He came to their home simply as a welcomed guest, rather than as one celebrating the conversion of a sinner like Zacchaeus or one unceremoniously received by a suspicious Pharisee. The sisters feel free to call on Jesus at their brother’s death, even though a re-turn to Judea at that time seems almost certain death. No doubt Martha was an active sort of per-son. On one occasion, she prepares the meal for Jesus and possibly his fellow guests and forth-rightly states the obvious: All hands should pitch in to help with the dinner. Yet, as biblical scholar Father John McKenzie points out, she need not be rated as an “unrecollected activist.” The evangelist is emphasizing what our Lord said on several oc-casions about the primacy of the spiritual: “… [D]o not worry about your life, what you will eat [or drink], or about your body, what you will wear…. But seek first the kingdom [of God] and his right-eousness” (Matthew 6:25b, 33a);“One does not live by bread alone” (Luke 4:4b); “Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteous-ness…” (Matthew 5:6a). Martha’s great glory is her simple and strong statement of faith in Jesus after her brother’s death. “Jesus told her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life; whoever believes in me, even if he dies, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?’ She said to him, ‘Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, the one who is coming into the world’” (John 11:25-27).

Saint Ignatius of Loyola
Founder of the Society of Jesus, Ignatius of Loyola, like Francis of
Assisi, had a conversion experience while recuperating from a serious ill-ness. Being a military man, the Rule of Life that Saint Ignatius wrote for his followers shows the discipline and rigor of a soldier, but a soldier of faith with the mercy and compassion of the Gospel.

La Historia de Santa Martha Marta, María y su hermano Lázaro eran eviden-temente amigos íntimos de Jesús. Llegó a su hogar simplemente como un huésped bienveni-do, en lugar de celebrar la conversión de un pe-cador como Zaqueo o uno recibido sin ceremo-nias por un fariseo sospechoso. Las hermanas se sienten libres de llamar a Jesús ante la muer-te de su hermano, aunque el regreso a Judea en ese momento parece una muerte casi segura. Sin duda Martha era una persona activa. En una ocasión, ella prepara la comida para Jesús y posiblemente sus compañeros de huéspedes y declara de manera directa lo obvio: todas las manos deben colaborar para ayudar con la ce-na. Sin embargo, como señala el erudito bíblico el padre John McKenzie, ella no necesita ser ca-lificada como una "activista no reconocida". La evangelista está enfatizando lo que nuestro Se-ñor dijo en varias ocasiones sobre la primacía de lo espiritual: "... [D] o no se preocupe por eso tu vida, lo que comerás [o beberás], o sobre tu cuerpo, lo que usarás... Pero busca primero el reino [de Dios] y su justicia” (Mateo 6: 25b, 33a); “Uno no vive solo de pan” (Lucas 4: 4b); "Bienaventurados los que tienen hambre y sed de justicia..." (Mateo 5: 6a). La gran gloria de Marta es su simple y fuerte declaración de fe en Jesús después de la muerte de su hermano. “Jesús le dijo: 'Yo soy la resurrección y la vida; quien crea en mí, aunque muera, vivirá, y todos los que viven y creen en mí nunca morirán. ¿Crees esto? "Ella le dijo:" Sí, Señor. He llegado a creer que tú eres el Mesías, el Hijo de Dios, el que viene al mundo "(Juan 11: 25-27).

Spiritual Bonsai The art of developing the potential of a seed in small pot re-quires a determined, persevering, and patient character. Our live, like seeds, are in development, in a society that seeks new
knowledge about people and their environments knowledge also requires attention and dedication, which clashes with the social tendency toward quick answers or fleeting and personal interest. In the face of this, let us re-member the words of Jesus: “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away” (Mt24:35). As farmers take care of their plants until the time of harvest and the potter shapes a clay pot, transforming the life of a human being into the image of Jesus Christ is an arduous task, the result of which inspires testimony and praise. We must obey God at all time, because He knows when it is neces-sary to let the wheat grow with the weeds and how to transform clay into something beautiful and useful, because “the one who began a good work in your will continue to complete it until the day of Christ Jesus” (Phil 1:6). Just as removing the weeds will hurt the wheat, sometimes, God does not take away the painful or questionable circumstances of life; nevertheless, like a clay pot, He transforms us to resist the difficult times. In this way He strengthens us, knowing that when the time of harvest arrives, we will be distinguished by our fruits of blessing; then, at the end of the process, “the righteous will shine like the sun” (Mt 13:43). This also implies that faith can grow alongside worldly things, but their fruits will distinguish them in their own time. To be continuing……

Bonsai Espiritual El arte de desarrollar el potencial de una semilla en una olla peque-ña requiere un carácter determinado, perseverante y paciente. Nuestra vida, como las semillas, está en desarrollo, en una sociedad que busca nuevos conocimientos sobre las personas y sus entornos.
El conocimiento también requiere atención y dedicación, que choca con la tendencia social hacia respuestas rápidas o interés fugaz y personal. Ante es-to, recordemos las palabras de Jesús: "El cielo y la tierra pasarán, pero mis palabras no pasarán" (Mt 24, 35). Como los agricultores cuidan sus plantas hasta el momento de la cosecha y el alfarero da forma a una vasija de barro, transformar la vida de un ser hu-mano a la imagen de Jesucristo es una tarea ardua, cuyo resultado inspira testimonio y alabanza. Debemos obedecer a Dios en todo momento, porque Él sabe cuándo es necesario dejar que el trigo crezca con las malas hierbas y cómo transformar el barro en algo hermoso y útil, porque "el que comenzó una buena obra en su voluntad continuará completándolo". Hasta el día de Cristo Jesús” (Fil 1: 6). Así como quitar la maleza dañará el trigo, a veces, Dios no quita las circuns-tancias dolorosas o cuestionables de la vida; Sin embargo, como una olla de barro, nos transforma para resistir los tiempos difíciles. De esta manera, Él nos fortalece, sabiendo que cuando llegue el momento de la cosecha, seremos distinguidos por nuestros frutos de bendición; luego, al final del proceso, “los justos brillarán como el sol” (Mt 13:43). Esto también implica que la fe puede crecer junto con las cosas mundanas, pero sus frutos los distinguirán en su propio tiempo. Continuara ……
