Gems from Father Dwyer regarding mothers:
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

1. A mother is such a wonderful gift that GOD HIMSELF chose to
have a mother.

2. HE was the only SON ever born who chose HIS own mother.

3. SHE is not just HIS disciple, but HIS mother.

6. She is the Mother of GOD, and we are proud of her.

7. The children of our parish say, "Holy Mary, we know very well who you 
are. You are the Mother of GOD."

8. JESUS, at the request of HIS MOTHER saved the wedding day. He changed
tears into joy by changing water into wine.

Joseph was gone, JESUS was going, and HIS mother needed a protector.

have said it all".

15. The widow of Nazareth, HIS mother Mary.

16. The Bible does not say if HE appeared to HIS mother Mary, after the
resurrection. For that matter, it doesn't say HE ever combed HIS hair
either, but we know HE did.

17. The last words His mother said (written in the Bible) were, "Do      
     whatever HE tells you."

18. GOD is your Father, Christ is your Brother, Mary is your Mother

19. One ounce of mother equals one pound of clergy.

20. This world is just another womb for me.

21. Can I compare this world with the womb of my mother?

22. This world is so different from the world of the womb.

23. The most important life in any form is still the mother.

24. Our mother bandaged our bruises and healed our broken hearts.

25. She weaves a coat of character that the child will 
wear forever.

26. As we become more involved in lifes work, she becomes more alone.

27. Too many children grow up without realizing how much they owe her.

28. As we grow up our mother gets older. As we grow stronger,
she grows weaker.

29. The only harsh thing a good mother ever does, she dies and leaves us.

30. With a mother, the less there is to hold, the more she wants
to hold it, and that is the way it will always be.

31. A mother has her faults maybe, but all things considered, a golden halo
would fit around her gray hair better than around the heads of most of us.

32. Our mothers risk their lives to bear us and spend their lives bearing us.

33. There is no influence so powerful as a mother in weaving through the
     life of her child.

34. She shares our happiness in our triumphs and successes, and suffers with us
     in our losses and defeats.

35. We may have a model house, but it takes a mother to make a model home.

36. Love is a mixture, love and pleasure, love and pride, but a mothers love
     is pure.

37. The mother of a family has a complicated job.

38. Mothers sacrifice because of love.

43. Too many take their mothers for granted.

44. A child needs fathering. A mother cannot do it.

45. She may not have the face and figure of a hollywood queen or the
education of a college dean.

46. I once wedded a man named Delaney. After I said the wedding words I told
the groom, 'now kiss Mrs Delaney'. He ran down and kissed his mother.

47. Once I made a remark to a person, "Oh you just can't tell the boys from
the girls anymore, look at that one. Is it a boy or a girl?" The person
said, "That is my daughter." I said, "Oh I am sorry, I didn't know you
were her father." The person said. "I'm not, I am her mother." (true story)

48. Yes, SHE is a mother like your own mother,
but what a difference between the SONS.
