There are many definitions of what a Saint is. For example, a Saint is an example of holiness that we can follow with confidence, or a saint is always someone through whose life we learn what God is like - and of what we are called to be.
We pray with saints, not to them. Have you ever asked anyone to pray for you when you were having a hard time? Why did you choose to ask that person? You may have chosen someone you could trust, or someone who understood your problem, or someone who was close to God. Those are all reasons we ask saints to pray for us in times of trouble. Since saints led holy lives and are close to God in heaven, we feel that their prayers are particularly effective. Often we ask particular saints to pray for us if we feel they have a particular interest in our problem. Patron saints are chosen as special protectors or guardians over areas of life. These areas can include occupations, illnesses, churches, countries, causes -- anything that is important to us. There are over 10,000 named saints and beati from history, the Roman Martyology and Orthodox sources, but no definitive "head count".
In the gospel accounts of Luke and John we meet a woman named Martha, who together with her sisters, Mary and brother, Lazarus, are friends of Jesus. In the home of Martha, Jesus and His disciples were welcomed with hospitality. As Martha was the one who served at the table, she was chosen as patroness of innkeepers and hostels.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).
The Feast Day of St Martha is July 29th.
