Jerusalem Our Mother
Galatians 4:26
But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.


The holy Church is our mother, and the most holy God our Father. She feeds us with sincere milk (1 Timothy 3:15) from her two breasts, the Scriptures of both Testaments, which God hath committed to her keeping. God doth beget us of immortal seed by the Word (1 Peter 1:23), but by the instrumentality of the Church.

(T. Adams.)
