I am very thankful for Mother Angelica. I was still Lutheran when I heard her talking about the 400 Year Apocalyptic Cycle recorded in Esdras. I was still Lutheran at the time. It was like a breath of fresh air to me breathed of the Holy Ghost. I had heard of Esdras but I never considered it Scripture. It was around that time I started a Private Devotion to the Virgin May by the Rosary. It was around that time I had deeply considered the Franciscans and found an understanding that was more peaceful in the veins of Eastern Mysticism. I hope this world is not deceived by the propaganda out there trying to present Mother Angelica as an angry demon. Some of the movies out now are trying to present Mother Angelica as demonic. Mary, Mother of God, pray for Mother Angelica.
Mother Angelica has been a huge influence on me as a convert. And now she is my inspiration as I battle cancer...again. I offer up my suffering just as Mother Angelica did for the conversion of souls. Mother Pray for Us!
I was blessed to have met Mother Angelica in the late 80s or early 90s at a shopping mall I frequented which was a short distance from EWTN. I was Presbyterian then but I knew who she was because I watched EWTN semi-regularly because it originated from Birmingham AL, my hometown. I wish now that I had asked her then the one thing that was keeping me away from the Catholic Church. In 2019, I got my question answered and started RCIA and was confirmed in 2020. We moved later that year and only a short distance from her Shrine in Hanceville AL. In my heart, I know she prayed for me to come home.
Mother Angelica was witty, funny and so sincere in what she said. I am a Catholic "returnee" and I came across EWTN about a year in a half ago after my Mom had died, and there she was sitting in her chair, joking around with the studio audience and the audience watching her. She made it very easy to realize what I had been missing for a lot of years. God Bless you, Mother Angelica, and Thank You!
wayne DIOR are juggling now? how do you know that? Maybe you're Muslim or seven day. This two religions are very anti catholic they're judging Catholic all the time in you tube. Bible said only God can judge
God bless mother Angelica; a nun of unwavering devotion to the Church, to God, and as a result she accomplished such impossible miracles time and time again. A true blessing to our church. I think she is a saint.
I was raised watching mother Angelica in Venezuela. She has always been a master and guide in all the ups & downs i've had in life. God bless her and may eternal light shine upon her.
I'm certain that we all miss our loving ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ mother Angelica rip ive listened in almost all her talk programs I wished I had met her she'll be forever missed thanks bb for uploading this video I'm a catholic residing now in belgium w my family a big ty !!! 😊 😅😮
John Drzymkowski I’m 27, I came into the church as a catechumen, and I was confirmed on the 23rd of February. Even though she is no longer with us, she played a big part in helping me find my way to Catholicism.
She has brought me hope and comfort. I listen to one of her talks every morning. I have listened to most of them several times. I feel certain that she will be canonised before very long.
@@williamwilliams2592 Yes, she was fat, and readily admitted that. I can't see how that is important. She was anything but evil, and she always told the truth. That is perhaps why many people - including you - don't like her. People can't handle the truth these days; they want to hear what they want to hear!
My mom use to watch her and I started watch her again I'm 43 now I have to listen to her in order to sleep she brings me so much peace even her on the other side and watch her as made me look more into catholic faith I felt a pull so strong
I love how Mother Angelica addressed an issue pointed out by many atheists in my circle which is the issue of suffering. why would God be so vengeful so to speak and if there was a god why is there so much ugliness and sadness in this world. A deep exploration of Catholic understanding particularly from the angle of mother Angelica's view on suffering answers that very question... the Catholic church for me after many years of study remains the only religion in the world that addresses the issue of how one suffers and sometimes must suffer and how it relates to the soul and divinity of Jesus Christ.
St Catherine of Siena “I have shown you, dearest daughter, that in this life guilt is not atoned for by any suffering simply as suffering, but rather by suffering borne with desire, love, and contrition of heart. The value is not in the suffering but in the soul’s desire. Likewise, neither desire nor any other virtue has value or life except through my only-begotten Son, Christ crucified, since the soul has drawn love from him and in virtue follows his footsteps. In this way and in no other is suffering of value. “ Source: Catherine of Siena, The Dialogue
Watching EWTN is hypnotic. You can learn The Church at a post-graduate level, and watch its global influence and charity from the programing. Having been so favored, I imagine Mother Angelica's petitions will now be a local call.
I loved watching Mother Angelica because she taught us without being wishy-washy. She lived what she talked about and I didn't need to guess what she was saying. Thank you Bishop Barron for this video. I can't wait to share it with my friends.
Linda Jamme know how also taught without being wishy washy? The nazis and KKK. They have no room for thought outside of their own assumptions. They all def life for what they talked about. The lack of self introspection isn’t admirable
Colleen Posadas my bad, I'm confused."..you said she taught without being wish-washy in your comment...I agree. There's a bunch of other historical figures that don't teach "wish-washy."

God doesn't need nuanced speakers, Bishop, he proved that with his choice of the 12. He needs people like Mother Angelica who makes things happen through her obedience. The conversion of the "new atheist" , or anyone really, isn't going to happen with pretty words. People will be moved by what we do, our obedience, and our service long before anything we say. Thank you for the tribute _/\_
EWTN has been a positive part of my life. I'm grateful to Mother Angelica for establishing it. I have experienced angels and seen miraculous and astounding works of God. The supernatural is central to what Christianity is in reality about, and also what the people want; Not every one needs a visitation or a miracle, but people want to know they're happening... that God is alive and active among his flock, as he is. Peace to you.
She helped me reignite my love of my Catholic Faith ... May her soul and the souls of the faithful departed through the MERCY of God rest in peace ❤️💙❤️
She helped me to find a way to make it through. Where I was the day I found Mother was a Happy day. I was a hot mess. I am sending you Greetings from The Peace Corps Morocco and as a Deacon in the Church.
Thanks Bishop, I didn't know of it. I've been ill. I have been working with homeless people and along with my own pain, I am called to add to my own suffering as a duty. I don't take credit for doing my duty in any form. Once I went through the process of Spiritual Restoration, being Holy got easier. I love it. God Bless us all. Christian soldiers. Amen.
Mother Angelica was a great person of God,I grew up with her lectures and then kind of forgot about her,then rediscovered her. She brought me close to God,she was a saint
Thank you, Bishop Barron, for your wonderful insights on the significance of Mother Angelica, her media ministry, and the spiritual importance of suffering. You articulate well what so many of us experienced in the Church/world during the last 30 years, and why Mother Angelica was such an important instrument in God’s hands. Grateful to God for both your witnesses! Bless you and your work for God and for us!!!
Two things she said made a huge impression on me. 1) I was raised Protestant, and never understood how the highest angel, who reported directly to God and *knew* without a doubt that he (the angel) was created and could not possibly replace God - how this angel could decide to rebel against the ultimate authority of all existence. But Mother explained: God approached his angel and said "I'm going to create a human son and you will henceforth be reporting to him and his mother". So the angel, in his pride, saw that as the ultimate demotion, and left Heaven. 2) A caller once asked Mother "When I'm at confession, if I forget to confess one of my sins, does that mean that God won't forgive that sin?" -- And Mother replied "Only if you forget on purpose".
"You will henceforth report to him AND HIS MOTHER" is something that she fabricated. The text indicates that Adam was already king over Satan, which is what the "made in the image of YHWH" language indicates. The "image of the gods" was the nephilim/demigod king and/or emperor of the pagan world. Thus, the Adam was king (and thus the born-again person being returned to that state "will rule over the angels" after the resurrection). So you see the Serpent deceiving Adam is the usurpation of his kingship. To throw Mary into the mix requires severe eisigesis.
Thank you Bishop for this video I’m no longer Roman Catholic but I watched her every week and I loved her. I loved her humor I loved her teaching and I love that she lived what she talked
It was through Mother Angelica (and EWTN) that I discovered then Father Robert Barron and was brought closer to God. I am eternally grateful to them both.
I grew up in Catholic family with Irish/French nationalities. On my mom's family side, Irish. My dad's family side, French Canadian. The first time i heard of EWTN was when i was watching it on TV and what got me interested was the Chaplet of Divine Mercy. At that time, i had no idea what EWTN was and didn't know anything about the Catholic faith. Nowadays as a sincere Catholic, i take my faith seriously not lightly.
Thanks Bishop Barron for talking about Mother Angelica It brought back beautiful memories of Mother. May soul rest in peace. EWTN team we love you n you r always in our prayers.
I love her and miss her. She was firey but also so tender. I never had cable so did not see her until a few years ago after my mom had died. I was really struggling and she reminded me so much of my mom. She was a great comfort and her talks and books have helped me so much.
Wished Fr. Barron had met Mother Angelica! She would have loved to meet him. Mother Angelica definitely had a pocketful of miracles or more like a shopping cart. As Mother says - think big when it comes to The Lord.
She would have set Fr Barron in his place and told him to go study his basic Catechism. Have you seen Fr Barron's video on Hell. He doesn't believe Catholic doctrine.
Mother is still with us...now she knows you very personally and loves u more than anyone alive ...she even loves u more than u love yourself....she can help u more than ever before...
“I understood that love comprises all vocations - that love is everything, and because it is eternal, embraces all times and places."😇St.Therese of Lisieux 🙏🏻4us
Mr Angelica always reminds me of the Sisters (Society of the Holy Child) who taught me in boarding school. I always felt very safe (home was not safe for me) there. And yes, I was well acquainted with detention and loosing my Sunday pass for home visits. The sisters made me feeI loved, protected, had expectations and boundaries, etc.
I like Mother Angelica's phrase:" EWTN is brought to you by you." I really appreciate all of those Franciscan priests that appear in Mass and other shows.
I am not Catholic but I used to watch her on cable TV after I discovered her I think she was a wonderful human being. She must cringe at the current state of things but I know she did her best and God love her for all that she did do!
It's strange. Mother Angelica had been sick and silent for 15 years. But now that she's gone it feels as if there's a void, like she had been there the whole time, even when we weren't even aware of it. This must be a testimony to the spiritual legacy of her work, her suffering and her prayers. Thank you for this essay, Bishop Barron!
What we need are more Mother Angelicas...but alas...most of what we have today are protestant catholics who stand for everything mother fought against.They are either directly teaching watered down protestant theology..or staying silent allowing it to spread..few and far between are the brave who..as Mother put it..are the thorns in the side of poorly formed church leaders..
As an Anglican convertee during the Benedict XVI pontificate EWTN through the Mother Angelica Apostlate guidance for my personal spiritual journey,growth and maturity.
Thank you for these great memories of this fiesty nun, unshaken in her faith and suffering servant of God . Great stories Bishop Brought tears to my eyes and cries to my soul Jesus I trust in YOU ❤️💙❤️
Mother Angelica thru her EWTN station had made the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church reach distant places and continents without leaving her place. God is Good all the time 🙏
Beautiful ❤️, reminds me off Sisters off Charity at Elizabeth Univ.. New Jersey " Sister Anne".God Bless her, her work.🇩🇰🇺🇸🐦💟Thank you Bishop Robert Barron. Have to tell you Bishop a sweet story of Sister Anne. We, mature!? Students knew , at Halloween it was her birthday. So we asked permission to bring a cake. More over, sister Maureen was in on our celebration. So, we actually brought, more food. Bsides cake, which I made. And, wit Sister Maureen, ( who dressed like a Pirate to cover our way!), We all came in Halloween outfits. Sister Anne loved the surprise. So, we were busy celebrating the sisters, when Mother Superior arrived with a friend. Silence. I gently took he by the arm, :" Mother, come taste my Danish Apple Pie, join us!" She looked at me, broak into a smile , the day was a joy. Later, I asked sister Anne, :" Why were you not in costume?" She , smiled, and said,:" IAM always in God's costume". Unforgettable human being. 🐦💟. Algorithms...her...
In response to Libya Think Tank, I had my conversion surfing through the channels and landed on EWTN. The Feast of SS Peter and Paul was being televised from the Vatican. The English narrator for EWTN was talking about Christ asking his apostles, "Who do you say that I am?" ............and as we all know the narrative, Christ is handing over his apostolic succession and magisterium of His Church to Peter, and the gates of hell will not prevail over It. Also, whatsoever, You bind on Earth will be Bound in Heaven and whatsoever you loose on earth will be Loosed in Heaven". I fell into tears, and knew after 25 years of searching for a church and God, I wanted to become Catholic. I was so stubborn natured, the divine providence of God through the many Fatima prayers offered during each rosary said around the world led God to allow me to see and hear for the first time in my life. I no longer wanted to live as the world lives, but I promised Our Blessed Mother because Heaven had given me such a beautiful pearl, I would change from my old nature to a new nature, one that would not offend Our Lord. Yes, the local parish taught RCIA, but it was by listening to Robert Barron, Johnette Benkovic, and Mother Angelica Classics that fed my soul before I could receive the sacraments. Also, praying the rosary, attending mass and reciting Catholic prayers from the Pieta Prayer book all were like balm being placed over my sinful scars. It was nice to believe in the one true God that loves each and every one of us. So please, do not under-estimate the power of God coming through to His disciples on earth who said, "yes lord, I will do your will", like Mother Angelica and Bishop Robert Barron. So many elderly, disabled and needy souls watch EWTN because they cannot drive to the local parish. We have to believe the three key elements Bishop Barron highlighted, "Divine Providence, The Supernatural and Suffering" will bring us closer to the Kingdom of Heaven. My local parish priest told me to pray for supernatural graces. They were all answered immediately. When Christ said, "ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find and knock and it will be opened unto you". As long as our heart desires God, fervently, He delivers on His Word!!! Will be praying for Mother Angelica's intercession because Our Catholic Saints are our best friends! "How awesome is our Church" by Mother Angelica. ...loved hearing her say that.
Everyone talks about how after the council the church went thru a trying time. I didn’t notice that. My parents were so hard core Catholic that all I remember was my mom coming in my room at 6:30 am on Sunday and telling me get ready for mass or I will beat u ! Now I’m 57 and still go to mass and confession. LoL.
I feel you Him😄Parents and relatives were hardcore Catholics and raised in that household. Funny as it all began in the household that eventually came into our being. Im 33, living separately from my family, country and home but those experiences taught me so much of my Christian life that until now, i refused to live in a new place without a Catholic Chruch on site. Hardcore it is!😄
The NEW MASS Is NOT CATHOLIC. Please watch my playlist "New Mass = Apostasy." It is NOT a Catholic Mass, it is a protestantized mass. Vaticancatholic. Com explains this.
I have watched Bishop Barron a couple of times before now, was a stuck-on-Sheen fan. Which I still am, have seen all of his videos countless times. Now, just in the last week or so, I am a stuck- on-Barron fan, great to have someone to carry on with different perspectives, different issues pertinent to these days and times - even though Sheen's talks are timeless, as Barron's will be. Well, how surprised I was to hear "Deacon Bill" brought up! Back in the early '70's, while working for Msgr. George Rohling at St. Henry, that was when I knew Mr. Steltemeier. He was in and out of the office frequently, think he may have been on the parish council, not sure. Always had a smile on his face, a sweet, dear man. He did some law-work for my dad who was a tremendous fan of Mother Angelica Years later, dad told me the story about Mr. Steltemeier , his leaving Nashville to move to Alabama, his closeness with Mother Angelica. Around this same time there was a young seminarian living in the parish center and who spent much of his time going to school. Went to his ordination in the mid '70's. David Choby went on to become Bishop of the Nashville diocese. He passed away last year, anyone reading, remember him in your prayers, along with Mother Angelica and Bill Steltemeier (and Msgr. Rohling) . If they can't use your prayers, God will find someone who can, at least I think they can be "passed on". I am not 17 anymore, but am young enough to get a few prayers out for you all too these next few years. I am not a "good Catholic " or even a "good person ", but can sure move my mouth, may as well do it in prayer. Looking back, how things do happen that we will have no clue about. Just try to choose that right fork in the road, I suppose.
Ohh nothing like ending on the negative. Great tribute to Mother Amgelica. We forgive your slight lack of good judgement. Therefore we thank God for this tribute.
My beloved daughter, you have come through a terrible persecution, which I permitted to free your soul from the torments of Hell. You are now free and your spirit will enable you to spread My Word, so that mankind can be released from the suffering that awaits them, should they be so foolish as to succumb to the evil one. You, My daughter, were sent right from the start. I Am making you stronger all the time, in but a few days. What do you think you will be like in a week, a year or two? A fighter, brave to the last, you will work with Me to clear the souls of My dearly beloved children, for whom I hold a deep and utterly loving Compassion. The Love courses through My Veins like a river. My Compassion never dwindles, despite the fact that they turn the other way. Your Divine Saviour Jesus Christ ss3
Many want to judge Mother Angelica . Fact of the matter is we are all sinners - no one is without flaws except Christ Himself. Why not turn from those ways and just try to listen to what she had to say ? You hit the nail on the head when you said she went with confidence to get that satellite . when our Lord wants us to accomplish something that seems impossible, He provides a way! That is the kind of energy I want to bring into my life now so I can fulfill my purpose on this earth to serve Him
As a covert I was always amazed at Catholics picking up the Cross and offering up their suffering for somebody eles' pain or intentions. Through Mother Angelica I begin to understand " offering it up".May God continue to bless her ministry and EWTN.
I am very thankful for Mother Angelica. I was still Lutheran when I heard her talking about the 400 Year Apocalyptic Cycle recorded in Esdras. I was still Lutheran at the time.

I became a catholic because of her and her sisters who helped me hear God’s call
Amen. God is good.

Doesn't need nuanced speakers? Christ literally spoke in allegory and metaphor, you don't get more nuanced than that.

She helped me to find a way to make it through. Where I was the day I found Mother was a Happy day. I was a hot mess. I am sending you Greetings from The Peace Corps Morocco and as a Deacon in the Church.
Thanks Bishop, I didn't know of it. I've been ill. I have been working with homeless people and along with my own pain, I am called to add to my own suffering as a duty. I don't take credit for doing my duty in any form. Once I went through the process of Spiritual Restoration, being Holy got easier. I love it. God Bless us all. Christian soldiers. Amen.
I have only recently learned about Mother Angelica and oh what a woman she was. I love watching videos of her. May she rest in eternal peace. 💝💝💝
Read Arroyos book!
Oh, I SO needed to hear this right now. Thank you.
Mother Angelica was a great person of God,I grew up with her lectures and then kind of forgot about her,then rediscovered her. She brought me close to God,she was a saint
Thank you, Bishop Barron, for your wonderful insights on the significance of Mother Angelica, her media ministry, and the spiritual importance of suffering. You articulate well what so many of us experienced in the Church/world during the last 30 years, and why Mother Angelica was such an important instrument in God’s hands. Grateful to God for both your witnesses! Bless you and your work for God and for us!!!
Two things she said made a huge impression on me. 1) I was raised Protestant, and never understood how the highest angel, who reported directly to God and *knew* without a doubt that he (the angel) was created and could not possibly replace God - how this angel could decide to rebel against the ultimate authority of all existence. But Mother explained: God approached his angel and said "I'm going to create a human son and you will henceforth be reporting to him and his mother". So the angel, in his pride, saw that as the ultimate demotion, and left Heaven. 2) A caller once asked Mother "When I'm at confession, if I forget to confess one of my sins, does that mean that God won't forgive that sin?" -- And Mother replied "Only if you forget on purpose".
"You will henceforth report to him AND HIS MOTHER" is something that she fabricated. The text indicates that Adam was already king over Satan, which is what the "made in the image of YHWH" language indicates. The "image of the gods" was the nephilim/demigod king and/or emperor of the pagan world. Thus, the Adam was king (and thus the born-again person being returned to that state "will rule over the angels" after the resurrection). So you see the Serpent deceiving Adam is the usurpation of his kingship. To throw Mary into the mix requires severe eisigesis.
Thank you Bishop. I enjoy listening to your talks. God bless you.
Thank you Bishop for this video I’m no longer Roman Catholic but I watched her every week and I loved her. I loved her humor I loved her teaching and I love that she lived what she talked
Please, come back to your Church. We miss you 🌈✝️💞
It’s all about Who you worship, not where. Shalom
Mother Angelica was a true
SERVANT OF JESUS. ........
Changed my life ,brought me closer to our love of God!
It was through Mother Angelica (and EWTN) that I discovered then Father Robert Barron and was brought closer to God. I am eternally grateful to them both.
She was so instrumental in building EWTN. A beautiful person! Thank you Bishop!
I grew up in Catholic family with Irish/French nationalities. On my mom's family side, Irish. My dad's family side, French Canadian. The first time i heard of EWTN was when i was watching it on TV and what got me interested was the Chaplet of Divine Mercy. At that time, i had no idea what EWTN was and didn't know anything about the Catholic faith. Nowadays as a sincere Catholic, i take my faith seriously not lightly.
I love the Chaplet of Divine Mercy. I love how they sing it on EWTN
Thank God for Mother Angelica.
Mother angelica is gratefully missed.She was a great television on how much i love the catholic church.
What a great and honest way to honor this dear lady! Thanks Bishop!
Thank you Bishop Barron. You're in our prayers. ;)
What gigantic Faith and Trust in God Mother Angelica had, thank you Bishop Barron for telling us
Thanks Bishop Barron for talking about Mother Angelica
It brought back beautiful memories of Mother. May soul rest in peace. EWTN team we love you n you r always in our prayers.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/EWTN
I love her and miss her. She was firey but also so tender. I never had cable so did not see her until a few years ago after my mom had died. I was really struggling and she reminded me so much of my mom. She was a great comfort and her talks and books have helped me so much.
Wished Fr. Barron had met Mother Angelica! She would have loved to meet him. Mother Angelica definitely had a pocketful of miracles or more like a shopping cart. As Mother says - think big when it comes to The Lord.
She would have set Fr Barron in his place and told him to go study his basic Catechism. Have you seen Fr Barron's video on Hell. He doesn't believe Catholic doctrine.
Mother is still with us...now she knows you very personally and loves u more than anyone alive ...she even loves u more than u love yourself....she can help u more than ever before...
“I understood that love comprises all vocations - that love is everything, and because it is eternal, embraces all times and places."😇St.Therese of Lisieux 🙏🏻4us
What a beautiful way to honor a person's life. Very nicely done and funny, too. Good work.
Mr Angelica always reminds me of the Sisters (Society of the Holy Child) who taught me in boarding school. I always felt very safe (home was not safe for me) there. And yes, I was well acquainted with detention and loosing my Sunday pass for home visits. The sisters made me feeI loved, protected, had expectations and boundaries, etc.
I just love Mother Angelica! I still watch her video's.
Amazing testimony of life, and service. 🙏❤️
It is such a shame that these two great voices of the Church in the culture will not get to meet until after both have left this Earth.
And we loved her so much, never forget that. She was on our level, and yet she made saint hood look attainable.
Thank you Bishop Barron, very inspirational!
At Heaven Beloved Mother Angélica we still loving You so much! Mother Angélica thank You so much! 😇😇😇
I have always wondered what Bishop Barron would say about Mother Angelica! I am happy that this video appeared in my stream 🙏
I like Mother Angelica's phrase:" EWTN is brought to you by you." I really appreciate all of those Franciscan priests that appear in Mass and other shows.
I am not Catholic but I used to watch her on cable TV after I discovered her I think she was a wonderful human being.
She must cringe at the current state of things but I know she did her best and God love her for all that she did do!
Rest In Peace Mother Angelica Pray for us.
It's strange. Mother Angelica had been sick and silent for 15 years. But now that she's gone it feels as if there's a void, like she had been there the whole time, even when we weren't even aware of it. This must be a testimony to the spiritual legacy of her work, her suffering and her prayers. Thank you for this essay, Bishop Barron!
So so so good. All three points. Thank you for your perspective.
What we need are more Mother Angelicas...but alas...most of what we have today are protestant catholics who stand for everything mother fought against.They are either directly teaching watered down protestant theology..or staying silent allowing it to spread..few and far between are the brave who..as Mother put it..are the thorns in the side of poorly formed church leaders..
As an Anglican convertee during the Benedict XVI pontificate EWTN through the Mother Angelica Apostlate guidance for my personal spiritual journey,growth and maturity.
Thank you for these great memories of this fiesty nun, unshaken in her faith and suffering servant of God .
Great stories Bishop
Brought tears to my eyes and cries to my soul
Jesus I trust in YOU
❤️💙❤️
My grandmother used to watched mother angélica every day watching this Made remmember my sweet grandmother rest in pesce
She taught me how to say the Rosary.
You may not always agree with Mother Angelica but she is truly wonderful person ✝️🙏👍❤️💙
Mother Angelica thru her EWTN station had made the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church reach distant places and continents without leaving her place. God is Good all the time 🙏
Beautifully said!
Mother Angelica was wonderful, a savior of souls!
God bless her soul
Beautiful ❤️, reminds me off Sisters off Charity at Elizabeth Univ.. New Jersey " Sister Anne".God Bless her, her work.🇩🇰🇺🇸🐦💟Thank you Bishop Robert Barron. Have to tell you Bishop a sweet story of Sister Anne. We, mature!? Students knew , at Halloween it was her birthday. So we asked permission to bring a cake. More over, sister Maureen was in on our celebration. So, we actually brought, more food. Bsides cake, which I made. And, wit Sister Maureen, ( who dressed like a Pirate to cover our way!), We all came in Halloween outfits. Sister Anne loved the surprise. So, we were busy celebrating the sisters, when Mother Superior arrived with a friend. Silence. I gently took he by the arm, :" Mother, come taste my Danish Apple Pie, join us!" She looked at me, broak into a smile , the day was a joy. Later, I asked sister Anne, :" Why were you not in costume?" She , smiled, and said,:" IAM always in God's costume". Unforgettable human being. 🐦💟. Algorithms...her...
Very nice Bishop. Thank you.
In response to Libya Think Tank, I had my conversion surfing through the channels and landed on EWTN. The Feast of SS Peter and Paul was being televised from the Vatican. The English narrator for EWTN was talking about Christ asking his apostles, "Who do you say that I am?" ............and as we all know the narrative, Christ is handing over his apostolic succession and magisterium of His Church to Peter, and the gates of hell will not prevail over It. Also, whatsoever, You bind on Earth will be Bound in Heaven and whatsoever you loose on earth will be Loosed in Heaven". I fell into tears, and knew after 25 years of searching for a church and God, I wanted to become Catholic. I was so stubborn natured, the divine providence of God through the many Fatima prayers offered during each rosary said around the world led God to allow me to see and hear for the first time in my life. I no longer wanted to live as the world lives, but I promised Our Blessed Mother because Heaven had given me such a beautiful pearl, I would change from my old nature to a new nature, one that would not offend Our Lord. Yes, the local parish taught RCIA, but it was by listening to Robert Barron, Johnette Benkovic, and Mother Angelica Classics that fed my soul before I could receive the sacraments. Also, praying the rosary, attending mass and reciting Catholic prayers from the Pieta Prayer book all were like balm being placed over my sinful scars. It was nice to believe in the one true God that loves each and every one of us. So please, do not under-estimate the power of God coming through to His disciples on earth who said, "yes lord, I will do your will", like Mother Angelica and Bishop Robert Barron. So many elderly, disabled and needy souls watch EWTN because they cannot drive to the local parish. We have to believe the three key elements Bishop Barron highlighted, "Divine Providence, The Supernatural and Suffering" will bring us closer to the Kingdom of Heaven.
My local parish priest told me to pray for supernatural graces. They were all answered immediately. When Christ said, "ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find and knock and it will be opened unto you". As long as our heart desires God, fervently, He delivers on His Word!!! Will be praying for Mother Angelica's intercession because Our Catholic Saints are our best friends! "How awesome is our Church" by Mother Angelica. ...loved hearing her say that.
God is leading u....keep going ...
A beautiful discussion.
YES, MOTHER ANGELICA IS AT HEAVEN! WAITING US
I love Mother Angelica!
....... Great Stories of True ..... Divine Providence! .....
it was lovely to hear you bishop, Would please make a video on Ven. Bishop fulton J Sheen
Love that story about the dish.
What a great story!
Everyone talks about how after the council the church went thru a trying time.
I didn’t notice that. My parents were so hard core Catholic that all I remember was my mom coming in my room at 6:30 am on Sunday and telling me get ready for mass or I will beat u ! Now I’m 57 and still go to mass and confession. LoL.
I feel you Him😄Parents and relatives were hardcore Catholics and raised in that household. Funny as it all began in the household that eventually came into our being. Im 33, living separately from my family, country and home but those experiences taught me so much of my Christian life that until now, i refused to live in a new place without a Catholic Chruch on site. Hardcore it is!😄
The NEW MASS Is NOT CATHOLIC.
Please watch my playlist "New Mass = Apostasy."
It is NOT a Catholic Mass, it is a protestantized mass.
Vaticancatholic. Com explains this.
I have watched Bishop Barron a couple of times before now, was a stuck-on-Sheen fan. Which I still am, have seen all of his videos countless times. Now, just in the last week or so, I am a stuck- on-Barron fan, great to have someone to carry on with different perspectives, different issues pertinent to these days and times - even though Sheen's talks are timeless, as Barron's will be. Well, how surprised I was to hear "Deacon Bill" brought up! Back in the early '70's, while working for Msgr. George Rohling at St. Henry, that was when I knew Mr. Steltemeier. He was in and out of the office frequently, think he may have been on the parish council, not sure. Always had a smile on his face, a sweet, dear man. He did some law-work for my dad who was a tremendous fan of Mother Angelica Years later, dad told me the story about Mr. Steltemeier , his leaving Nashville to move to Alabama, his
closeness with Mother Angelica. Around this same time there was a young seminarian living in the parish center and who spent much of his time going to school. Went to his ordination in the mid '70's. David Choby went on to become Bishop of the Nashville diocese. He passed away last year, anyone reading, remember him in your prayers, along with Mother Angelica and Bill Steltemeier (and Msgr. Rohling) . If they can't use your prayers, God will find someone who can, at least I think they can be "passed on". I am not 17 anymore, but am young enough to get a few prayers out for you all too these next few years. I am not a "good Catholic " or even a "good person ", but can sure move my mouth, may as well do it in prayer. Looking back, how things do happen that we will have no clue about. Just try to choose that right fork in the road, I suppose.
Love her still watched her classic time any o wouldn't be able to see you in the early days
And now I know how some people come to God without an M. Div - they are already responsive to God's voice.
Ohh nothing like ending on the negative. Great tribute to Mother Amgelica. We forgive your slight lack of good judgement. Therefore we thank God for this tribute.
I still miss mother Angelica
My beloved daughter, you have come through a terrible persecution, which I permitted to free your soul from the torments of Hell. You are now free and your spirit will enable you to spread My Word, so that mankind can be released from the suffering that awaits them, should they be so foolish as to succumb to the evil one.
You, My daughter, were sent right from the start.
I Am making you stronger all the time, in but a few days. What do you think you will be like in a week, a year or two? A fighter, brave to the last, you will work with Me to clear the souls of My dearly beloved children, for whom I hold a deep and utterly loving Compassion. The Love courses through My Veins like a river. My Compassion never dwindles, despite the fact that they turn the other way.
Your Divine Saviour
Jesus Christ

She changed my life by watching her programs every day 15 years ago I was going in the wrong direction May she Rest In Peace.
Wow, that story about the satellite dish is incredible.
Rest in peace Mother Angelica
culture warriors like her are needed.
Thank you, very nice.
God will provide. The supernatural is more real than matter, and suffering is key to understanding sacrifice.
Many want to judge Mother Angelica . Fact of the matter is we are all sinners - no one is without flaws except Christ Himself. Why not turn from those ways and just try to listen to what she had to say ? You hit the nail on the head when you said she went with confidence to get that satellite . when our Lord wants us to accomplish something that seems impossible, He provides a way! That is the kind of energy I want to bring into my life now so I can fulfill my purpose on this earth to serve Him
I always liked the story she told of St. Theresa (Big T) and St. John of the Cross!
"Where's the rest of you?!" 🤣🤣❤❤❤
The value of suffering is nothing new in Catholicism. All the great saints, and Jesus Himself through His passion, exemplify the
As a covert I was always amazed at Catholics picking up the Cross and offering up their suffering for somebody eles' pain or intentions.
Through Mother Angelica I begin to understand " offering it up".May God continue to bless her ministry and EWTN.
I am very thankful for Mother Angelica. I was still Lutheran when I heard her talking about the 400 Year Apocalyptic Cycle recorded in Esdras. I was still Lutheran at the time. It was like a breath of fresh air to me breathed of the Holy Ghost. I had heard of Esdras but I never considered it Scripture. It was around that time I started a Private Devotion to the Virgin May by the Rosary. It was around that time I had deeply considered the Franciscans and found an understanding that was more peaceful in the veins of Eastern Mysticism. I hope this world is not deceived by the propaganda out there trying to present Mother Angelica as an angry demon. Some of the movies out now are trying to present Mother Angelica as demonic. Mary, Mother of God, pray for Mother Angelica.
What a great video!
I love Mother Angelica
GOD IS VERY ACTIVE AND RULES THE WORLD EVERY NANO SECOND 🤷♂️🤷♂️🕊🕊🕊REST IS LIKE BOOK OF JOB✝️✝️✝️
