"Mary Magdalene was taller and more beautiful than the other holy women, including even the beautiful Dinah the Samaritan, but the Virgin Mary was the most beautiful of all. Although the beauty of her form was not unmatched by others, and in some respects Magdalene's beauty was even more striking, Mary stands out among them all, more especially through an indescribable silent blessing that emanated from her, and through her simplicity, meekness, youthfulness, earnestness, and purity."
-- Anne Catherine Emmerich
One of the visionaries at Medjurgorje asked Mary, "My Lady, why are you so beautiful?" The answer was "I am beautiful because I love."
