“I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.”—Michelangelo
This is what the Holy Spirit is trying to do with each one of us…are you allowing him to chisel freely?

“Life is never fair, and perhaps it is a good thing for most of us that it is not.” —Oscar Wilde

“The Most Important Person on earth is a mother. She cannot claim the honour 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?”József Cardinal Mindszenty
