On the 191st anniversary of the birth of Sister Magdalena Gornik, a religious candidate, a large number of pilgrims gathered at the Church of the Snowy Virgin on Mount Gorica. The church was filled during the prayer hour before Mass and again during the Mass celebrated by Archbishop Anton Stres, who was accompanied by five priests. In his speech, Archbishop Stres reflected on the life of Sister Magdalena, who faced accusations and misunderstandings but remained faithful to her beliefs. He emphasized that she did not judge those who misunderstood her, believing that judgment belongs to God alone. He noted that people today often make hasty judgments, especially in public discourse and within the Church. He quoted Jesus' words from the Gospel of Matthew, highlighting how God reveals truths to those considered simple or humble, like Magdalena, who came from a modest background.

A reader named Ervin asks why some people refer to the Church as 'Christ's bride' and seeks clarification on what this metaphor signifies. The response explains that while the term 'Church' is often misunderstood as a mere institution or collective, it symbolizes a deeper spiritual relationship between Christ and his followers.
