"We ought to relate to Miriam of Nazareth as a partner in hope, in the company of all the holy women and men who have gone before us. This can help us reclaim the power of her memory for the flourishing of women, for the poor and all suffering people. It can help us to draw on the energy of her example for a deeper relationship with the living God, and stronger care for the world."

- Sr. Elizabeth Johnson, Theologian, from a talk given at the Los Angeles Religious Education Congress in 2000.
