The Most Important Person on Earth is a Mother – By Cardinal Mindszenty

mary-baby-jesus1

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 souls 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?

– By Joseph Cardinal Mindszenty

A Quote of Saint Clare of Assisi

“Happy indeed is she who is granted a place at the divine banquet, for she may cling with her inmost heart to him whose beauty eternally awes the blessed hosts of heaven; to him whose love inspires love, whose contemplation refreshes, whose generosity satisfies, whose gentleness delights, whose memory shines sweetly as the dawn; to him whose fragrance revives the dead, and whose glorious vision will bless all the citizens of that heavenly Jerusalem. For his is the splendor of eternal glory, the brightness of eternal light, and the mirror without cloud.”
