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
