DESCRIPTION:
Tribute to his mother

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 place
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.
