Paragraph 1. THE CHURCH IN GOD’S PLAN

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

O
humility! O sublimity! Both tabernacle of cedar and sanctuary of God; earthly
dwelling and celestial palace; house of clay and royal hall; body of death and
temple of light; and at last both object of scorn to the proud and bride of
Christ! She is black but beautiful, O daughters of Jerusalem, for even if the
labor and pain of her long exile may have discolored her, yet heaven’s beauty
has adorned her.¹⁸⁸
