"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 close to God the Creator than any other creatures. 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?"
—Joseph Cardinal Mindszenty
