"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 Joseph Mindszenty
