Dedicated to Mommies

I realize I'm a day late for Mother's Day, but I think it goes without saying that you never need a special day to celebrate mothers. I got this card on the way out of church yesterday, and I wanted to dedicate it to all the great mothers out there who read this blog:

The Most Important Person

on earth is a mother. She

cannot claim the honor of

having built Nortre Dame

Catherdral. 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

Happy Belated Mother's Day!
