Cardinal Joseph Mindszenty of Hungary is one of the great heroes of the 20th century. His life was amazing, from standing up to Hitler and then the communists.
On Mother's Day, we recall the Cardinal's poem:
"MOTHER The Most Important Person on earth is a mother.
On Mother's Day, we recall the Cardinal's poem:
"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 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!
Happy Mother's Day!
