A little bit of this sermon is borrowed from those, but hopefully most of it is fresh! Thanks to the ELCA Clergy Facebook group for some helpful reflections on liberation for both Mary & Martha.

Other descriptives are poetic or allegorical or have lesser or no canonical status, but form part of popular piety, with varying degrees of acceptance by Church authorities. Another class of titles refer to depictions of Mary in Catholic Marian art and in
