"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; even as I have loved you, that you also love one another."

John 13:34

"O Mother blest! And chosen shrine wherein the Architect divine | Whose hand contains the earth and sky vouchsafed in hidden guise to lie; | Blest in the message Gabriel brought; blest in the work the Spirit wrought; | Most blest, to bring to human birth the long desired of all the earth!"

- St. Venantius Fortunatus
