Mary-Martha: Being contemplative in action (Pope Francis)

   It is from contemplation, from a strong relationship of friendship with the Lord, that there is born in us the capacity to live and bear God's love, his mercy, his tenderness to others.  It is also our work with our needy brother, our labor of charity in works of mercy, that brings us to the Lord, because we see the Lord in our needy brother and sister.

--Pope Francis, Angelus message, July 21, 2013
