Mother angelica quotes on faith

As many of you probably know by now, Mother Mary Angelica, the founder of the Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN) passed into eternal life yesterday afternoon around 5:00pm. It is fitting that Mother Angelica entered eternal life on the day Our Jesus Christ rose from the dead – Easter Sunday! I found out about her passing as I was sitting on the couch watching the New York Rangers hockey game and looking at Facebook on my iPhone. I knew she had been sick for many years, and although the news is sad, we can also rejoice to know that she is in the presence of Jesus Christ.

In the book, Little Book of Life Lessons and Everyday Spirituality, which I will draw from more shortly, Mother Angelica, says about “Your Place in Heaven” –

“What followed was a humiliation that Paul never forgot, but it prevented his murder. The Acts tell us that “when it was dark, the disciples took him and let him down from the top of the wall, lowering him in a basket” (Acts 9: 23, 25). This suffering was so deeply imprinted in his memory that when he told the Corinthians of this experience almost twenty years later, one can feel the twinge of pain he felt as he wrote his account. This suffering and many that followed prevented Paul from ever boasting of the gifts, graces, and revelations that God bestowed upon him (2 Cor. 11: 32-33). Paul would say from his heart, “In view of the extraordinary nature of these revelations, to stop me from getting too proud I was given a thorn in the flesh, an angel of Satan to beat me and stop me from getting too proud” (2 Cor. 12: 7).”
