The suffering of this life not only can make our temperament more like the Divine Personality of Jesus, but it detaches us from this world. This Divine preparation opens our souls to the working and pruning of the Father.
Mother AngelicaLord # God , I praise Your Holy Name. Let every beat of my heart be a note of love in the symphony of my life.
Mother AngelicaGod is not a slot machine. We don't go to God to get something; we go to give something.
Mother AngelicaSometimes my worst day - one filled with pain and suffering - in the eyes of God, is my best day if I've born it cheerfully and I've born it with love.
Mother AngelicaYou 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.
