The Madonna and Child with Saints by Jacopo TintorettoTHE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON ON EARTH IS A MOTHER. SHE CANNOT CLAIM THE HONOR OF HAVING BUILT SOMETHING MORE MAGNIFICENT THAN ANY CATHEDRAL -- A DWELLNG 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?
