God wants you to be in the world, but so different from the world that you will change it. Get cracking.
Mother AngelicaUnless you are willing to do the ridiculous, God will not do the miraculous. When you have God, you donโt have to know everything about it; you just do it.
Mother AngelicaGod keeps the entire Universe in order, and still finds time to take a personal interest in you and me.
Mother AngelicaWe are commanded to love God with all our strength, heart, mind and soul and our neighbor in the same way God loves us - it is the same love flowing between God and the soul - the soul and its neighbor. It is difficult, but the burden of the cross is light compared to the cross of uncontrolled emotions, anger, insistence on one's own opinion, the frustration of trying to change others rather than being changed oneself, resentment, regrets and guilt. Accepting the present moment like Jesus did is certainly a lighter burden.
