The state of the Church

From St. Ambrose (The Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers: Second Series Vol. X; Eerdmans pg. 334):

The likeness of Your Church, O Lord, is that woman who went behind and touched the hem of Your garment, saying within herself: "If I do but touch His garment I shall be whole" (Mt. 9:21).

So the Church confesses her wounds, but desires to be healed.
