U ovom radu donosimo Liturgijski spomendan Svete Marte. Rad je podijeljen u tri dijela s podnaslovima. U prvom dijelu prikazan je lik Marte iz Betanije, sestre Lazara i Marije, kako je prikazan u Novom zavjetu te legendarni životopisi, čašćenje i prikazivanje svetice. U drugom dijelu prikazat ćemo teologiju misnih molitava (zborna, darovna, popričesna) o spomendanu Svete Marte. Misne molitve donosimo na latinskom i hrvatskom jeziku te ćemo izdvojiti glavne naglaske. U molitvama se ističu Martina gostoljubivost i služba ljubavi. U trećem dijelu donijet ćemo liturgijska čitanja koja su odabrana za spomendan te komentare vezane uz svako čitanje – Prvu Ivanovu poslanicu i dva evanđeoska ulomka po izboru. U sva tri čitanja glavna tema je ljubav i služenje koje jedno drugo prožimaju. Sve ove osobine nalaze se u Martinom životu koje joj pomažu da ustrajno izvršava zapovijed ljubavi prema Bogu i bližnjemu.

In this paper we depict the Liturgical feast day of St. Martha. The paper is divided into three parts with sub-headings. In the first part the character of St. Martha from Bethany is portrayed, Lazarus`s and Mary`s sister, as shown in the New Testament, and the legendary biographies, distinctions and descriptions of the Saint. In the second part we show the theology of Mass prayers (community prayer, gift prayer, prayer after Holy Communion) about the feast day of St. Martha. The mass prayers are in Latin and in Croatian and we will outline the main emphasis. In the prayers Martha`s hospitality and service of love are emphasized. In the third part we will show the Liturgical lessons that are selected for the feast day as well as the relevant commentary related to each lesson – the first John epistle and the two evangelical fragments of choice. In all three lections the main themes are love and service that interpenetrate each other. All of these features are found in Martha`s life that help her to persistently fulfill the commandment of love for God and the next.
