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


In that it is said she is above it signifies her heavenly origin; that she is Jerusalem, her peaceful multitude; that she is free, her great liberty; that she is mother, her abundant fecundity; that she is mother of us all, her wide charity.

(Cardinal Hugo.)
