Happy Mothers Day!
“The Most Important Person
on earth is a mother.
She cannot claim the honor of
having built Notre Dame
Cathedral. She need not.
She has built something more
magnificent than any
cathedral—a dwelling for an
immortal soul, the tiny
perfection of her baby’s
body….
The angels have not
been blessed with such a
grace. They cannot share in
God’s creative miracle to bring
new saints to Heaven. Only a
human mother can.
Mothers are closer to God
the Creator than any other creature;
God joins forces with mothers in
performing this act of
creation…
What on God’s good earth
is more glorious than this:
to be a mother?
—Cardinal Joszef (Pehm) Mindszenty
1852-1975
