I wish all of you moms out there, especially first-time moms, a very special Mother's Day! I am grateful that each one of you has blessed my life in countless ways.
I want to share a very special poem written about mothers by Cardinal Joseph Mindszenty --
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 from me, "John Michael's mom" :-) to you!
