Ezekiel 16:8E-14
I made a Covenant with you with an oath—word of Yahweh—and you were mine. Then I bathed you in water; I cleansed you of your blood and anointed you with oil. I clothed you with embroidered cloth and put soft leather sandals on your feet. I dressed you in fine linen and covered you with silk. I adorned you with jewelry, putting bracelets on your arms, a necklace around your neck and a ring in your nose. I gave you earrings and a magnificent crown for your head. You were adorned with gold and silver; your clothing was fine linen, silk and embroidered cloth. You were fed on finest flour, honey and oil; you became very beautiful and rose to be queen. Your beauty was perfect; and your renown spread through the nations, because of the splendor I had given you— word of Yahweh.

---- Mine,
Fear nothing. The Church is Mine. She is My Bride. I lay down My life for her and I will watch over her as tenderly as a mother watches over her infant. What have I not done for her? I have sworn an eternal Covenant that no evil will prevail over her. Each of her members is bathed in the waters of Baptism. Each is adorned with abundant grace through the wondrous power of the Sacraments. Each is made a son and daughter of the Father. Each is showered with gifts in order to grow even more perfect.
Fear nothing ---- Mine, not for yourself nor for the Church. The Lord Your God never sleeps. He never slumbers. Just as My eye is on the sparrow, even more watchful is it on you and My Church.
