"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?"
Happy Mother's Day!

"creature"?
at least he didn't claim that black babies are a different species...
You're welcome, everyone! Share it with moms who need encouragement in their beautiful role.
Anonymous: A creature is any created being (including a human or an animal). It is in no way a slur.
