And it came to pass, Whilst He blessed them, He departed from them And was carried up to Heaven. (Luke 24, 50, 51) The Most Important Person on Earth is a Mother- Happy Mother s Day! 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
