"Today, the Church is celebrating her dignity as "Mother of the Saints, an image of the Eternal City," and displays her beauty as the immaculate Bride of Christ, source and model of all holiness. She certainly does not lack contentious or even rebellious children, but it is in the Saints that she recognizes her characteristic features and precisely in them savours her deepest joy."
