St. Theophan the Recluse: If one has Martha's love of labor - all manner of good works...
Labels:
Palm Sunday
If one has Martha's love of labor - all manner of good works, and Mary's sitting at Jesus' feet - an attentive and warm appeal to the Lord with all his heart, then the Lord himself will come to him and resurrect his Lazarus - his spirit, and will release him from all his emotional and fleshly bonds. Then a truly new life will begin in him, bodiless in the body and unearthly on the earth,. It will be a true resurrection in the spirit before the future resurrection, which will include the body.
