Pregnancy is a kind of priesthood. The mother brings God to man by preparing the flesh in which the soul will be implanted; she brings man to God in offering the child back again to the Creator.

Pregnancy is representative of an odd kind of love, a love of a non-self extrinsic and apart from our inner life, love for a non-self but for one that is the mother her very self, a perfect example of charity and love which hardly perceives a separation.

San Francisco is a city with more grace per square foot than any place on earth.
