Mary Magdalene quotes

Mary Magdalene was a prominent follower of Jesus Christ in the Christian tradition. She is often portrayed as a devoted disciple who witnessed Jesus’ crucifixion and was the first to see him after his resurrection. She has inspired countless works of art and theological discussions throughout history. Here are 3 of her quotes:

The Magdalene, Childlike in ignorance, her thought athirst For that diviner knowledge which the priests Had never taught in her far-distant home, Stood earnest listening to the words that fell From the firm lips of Jesus. Day by day They sank upon her heart like blessed rain, Calling the secret powers that lay within Deep buried, forth to beauty and to life. (Mary Magdalene)
As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what he said. But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, "Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!” "Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, "you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed-or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”. View quote
