You want to do something for the Lord...do it. Whatever you feel needs to be done, even though youre shaking in your boots, youre scared to death -- take the first step forward. The grace comes with that one step and you get the grace as you step. Being afraid is not a problem; its doing nothing when you feel afraid.
Mother AngelicaFaith is one foot on the ground, one foot in the air, and a queasy feeling in the stomach.
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 wants you to be in the world, but so different from the world that you will change it. Get cracking.
Mother AngelicaOnly in eternity shall we see the beauty of the soul, and only then shall we realize what great things were accomplished by interior suffering.
Mother AngelicaNever put a lid on God. You can give God a thimble and ask for a quart. It won't work. Your plans, your projects, your dreams have to always be bigger than you, so God has room to operate. I want you to get good ideas, crazy ideas, extravagant ideas. Nothing is too much for The Lord to do - accent on 'The Lord'.
