"Mary is truly our sister, as Saint Ambrose says. She lived a life very similar to ours. It is, of course, beautiful to venerate Mary as the Virgin and Mother of God, as the one conceived immaculately of original sin and assumed into heaven; but she is also the Madonna of plates, brooms, and cooking pots..." With the motif of the broom, Albino Luciani (Pope John Paul I) may be echoing a sentiment of his predecessor in the office of Bishop of Rome, Giuseppe Roncalli (Pope John XXIII), who is said to have said: "One can become holy with a pastoral crook in one's hand, but just as one can become holy with a broom."
