Rest in Peace Mother Angelica!

The Catholic Church in the United States has lost the Poor Clare nun who changed the face of Catholicism in the United States and around the world. Mother Mary Angelica of the Annunciation, foundress of the Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN), passed away on March 27 after a lengthy struggle with the aftereffects of a stroke. She was 92 years old.




“Mother has always and will always personify EWTN, the network that God asked her to found,” said EWTN Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Michael Warsaw. “Her accomplishments and legacies in evangelization throughout the world are nothing short of miraculous and can only be attributed to divine Providence and her unwavering faithfulness to Our Lord.”

Stuck but Getting Something...

Yesterday, I was unable to get to my parish.

The snowplow had not come down the street (even once) and after 2.5 hours of digging on Saturday, I still could not get the car out. (Yes, I did the walkway during part of that time.)

So, I decided to watch Mass on EWTN at 8am.

All I can say is WOW! Fr. Wade was a great preacher. It was wonderful how he explained the readings of the day. I learned so much.

Now, if only my pastor and his assistant could preach like that, the Church would have a lot more people in attendance.
