Lord Jesus Christ, you chose Martha and Mary as your friends, their home as your refuge, their service as your joy. Grant us generous hearts to serve all those to whom you send us, that in serving them, we may serve you in gladness, who live and reign with the Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.
