I just love, love, love this little prayer. I recieved this twice in the hospital after giving birth and it always stuck with me. I thought...what a well written prayer, how true! Its amazing to think about growing a living person from scratch inside of you and to see how perfect they turn out! I was looking for this prayer this week and I was bummed I couldn't find it, so I emailed St. John's ministry and they responded right away with a copy of the prayer! I shared it with all my mother and mother-to-be friends!
A Mother’s Prayer
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 human creature.
God joins forces with mothers in performing this act of creation...what on God's earth is
more glorious than this:
TO BE A MOTHER
Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers!
