Fr. Rob revisits the well-known story of Mary and Martha with a fresh—and honest—perspective. While Martha is often portrayed as the one who missed the mark, this homily reframes her actions as a powerful model of authentic prayer. Martha didn’t bottle up her frustration; she brought it straight to Jesus—and that openness is exactly what makes her prayerful. Fr. Rob reminds us that real prayer doesn’t require flowery words or pretending to be holy. It requires honesty. Anger, doubt, frustration, fatigue—whatever we’re carrying, we’re invited to bring it to God, just like Martha did. Because only in honesty can God truly transform our hearts.
