"The most important
person on earth is a mother. She cannot claim the honor of having built Notre
Dame Cathedral. No! She need not. She has built something much 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 do that. Mothers are closer to God the Creator
than any human creature. God joins forces with mothers in performing his act of
creation… What on God’s earth is more glorious than this: to be a
mother?" ~ Cardinal Mindzenty

Thirteen years ago today my greatest Mother’s Day gift arrived. He was a day past his due date but just in time to make me a mother for Mother’s Day. Thank you God for the gift of an incredible son.
