The
Church of the Lord is built upon the rock of the apostles among so
many dangers in the world; it therefore remains unmoved. The Church's
foundation is unshakable and firm against assaults of the raging sea.
Waves lash at the Church but do not shatter it. Although the elements
of this world constantly beat upon the Church with crashing sounds,
the Church possesses the safest harbor of salvation for all in
distress.
