To all of the moms out there, to those who have played a "mothering" role, and in memory of the moms who will forever be in our hearts, have a very blessed and joyful Mother's 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?
Joseph Cardinal Mindszenty
