Happy Mother's Day - one of my favorite quotes

Happy Mother's Day to all of you wonderful, amazing, patient, loving, kind, hilarious, inspiring, prayerful and joyful moms.  This is one of my all-time favorite mom quotes.  I keep it posted on the bulletin board at my desk.  Enjoy your 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?" Cardinal Mindszenty
