"Mary is really 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 by 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 taking up a thought 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 shepherd's staff in one's hand, but just as one can become holy with a broom."
