Wisdom from Pope Benedict XVI

 
 
 

Part of the nature of religion is the profound tension between the mystical offering to God, in which we give ourselves totally to him, and responsibility for our neighbor and for the world created by God. Martha and Mary are always inseparable, even though, from time to time, the emphasis may fall on one or the other.

—Pope Benedict XVI

from his book What Is Christianity?
