"Tetapi adalah kehendak-Nya bahwa ibadah yang Dia dirikan dan lakukan selama hidup-Nya di bumi akan selalu berlanjut selamanya tanpa henti. Karena Dia tidak meninggalkan umat manusia menjadi yatim piatu. Dia masih menawarkan kita bantuan dari perantaraan-Nya yang penuh kuasa dan tidak pernah gagal, bertindak sebagai 'pembela kita di hadapan Allah Bapa'. Dia membantu kita melalui Gereja-Nya, tempat Dia berkuasa sepanjang zaman; melalui Gereja yang Dia dirikan, tahbiskan, dan sahkan selama-lamanya, tempat Dia mendirikan 'pilar-pilar kebenaran' dan penyebar rahmat, dan yang melalui pengorbanan-Nya di salib." - Paus Pius XII * "But it is His will, besides, that the worship He instituted and practiced during His life on earth shall continue ever afterwards without intermission. For He has not left mankind an orphan. He still offers us the support of His powerful, unfailing intercession, acting as our 'advocate with the Father.' He aids us likewise through His Church, where He is present indefectibly as the ages run their course: through the Church which He constituted 'the pillar of truth' and dispenser of grace, and which by His sacrifice on the cross, He founded, consecrated and confirmed forever." - Pope Pius XII
