“MARTHA…YOU WORRY AND FRET ABOUT SO MANY THINGS, AND YET FEW ARE NEEDED, INDEED ONLY ONE.
IT IS MARY WHO HAS CHOSEN THE BETTER PART, AND IT IS NOT TO BE TAKEN FROM HER.”
Luke 10:41-42 (NJB)
who is the intellectual catholic woman?
Thoughtful, faithful, and bold—she seeks truth with wonder and lives it with courage.
She engages the pressing questions of her time with heart and mind, allowing faith to illuminate her pursuit of wisdom.
Like Mary of Bethany, she has chosen the better part.
“It is evident that women are meant to form part of the living and working structure of Christianity in so prominent a manner that perhaps not all their potentialities have yet been made clear.”
Pope Paul VI
