An unofficial translation of the Pope’s homily today at the All Saints’ Mass:

Today, the Church celebrates her dignity as "mother of saints, image of the supernal city" (A. Manzoni), and manifests its beauty as the immaculate spouse of Christ, spring and model of every sanctity.

Certainly she does not lack for unruly, even outright rebellious, children, but in the saints, she sees her characteristic traits and in them tastes her most profound joy.

….Bonjour?
