The most important person on earth is a Mother.
She cannot claim the honor of having built the Notre Dame Cathedral. She need not. She built something more magnificent than any cathedral: a dwelling for an immortal sul, 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?
