Mariam was taking part in spiritual battle alongside her opposite gender counterparts who viewed her role with scepticism.
The Rabbi told her , "You are fighting in the same army in different battalions."
The Letter of St Paul to the Ephesians Chapter 6 verses 13 to 17 tells us, "Therefore put on the full armour of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you will be able to stand your ground, and after having done everything, to stand.
Stand firm then! Buckle the belt of truth around your waist, and put on the breastplate of righteousness. Strap up your feet in readiness with the gospel of peace.
Above all, take up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish the flaming arrows of the evil one.
And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God."
