As one who lives a little over a stones throw away from EWTN I can tell you it is as it is. What you see is what you get!

Mother has influenced all our lives in one way or the other as a state that is only 2% Catholic, she has fought many battles locally and won. Even the non-Catholics love her.

One of our priests in the diocese here is a convert from the Sothern Baptist, yep he was a pastor no less. He would go there, to the chapel in the afternoon to write his sermons. He said it was the quietest place in town - really it isn’t that quiet cuz folks are always coming and going 🙂 (nice to have that problem). Anyway, he would sit in the back and write his homily - at the time he didn’t realize he was sitting in front of Jesus, and for sure he knew we were all pegans 😉 but he just couldn’t help it, it was so quiet and peaceful. Him and Jesus, just writing away 😃 **He has been a Catholic priest for about three years now, just an awesome man of God. **Also, Fr. DeGrandis had a big influence on him in the seminary, as I understand, Fr. devotes most of his time now working with semiarians.

I believe and generally as so many do, that one day there will be a Eucharistic miracle that will happen in front of the world’s audience. It will be an awesome day.

what a great story PaniRose-
did you ever meet Mother Angelica?? I would love to hear about it if you have.

Very much so. Mother Angelica introduced me to devotion to St. Michael… and taught me how to say the Rosary, properly.

She also taught me (and millions of us) through EWTN… that holiness is not JUST for priests and religious. But for ALL of us. I have a feeling, that there are many people who “make” Heaven… because of Mother Angelica’s example and encouragement. She’s not only a loyal daughter of the Church… but a true Evangelist.

We love her dearly, in our house. 🙂
 
Back in the days before they moved up to Hanceville, I used to see Mother Angelica with some of her Sisters at the local stores in Irondale. I’ve never met her personally but the network she began has played a very important part in my spiritual life and in my conversion. I admire her courage and her faithfulness. I’ve enjoyed her wit and her wisdom. I attend Mass at the tiny chapel at EWTN a few times a week. I’ve been going there to the Franciscans for confession and I can’t thank them enough for their gentle compassion and guidance over the years.

Thank you, Mother Angelica, for the work you’ve done in Alabama and around the world. Thank you, Lord, for blessing us with Your amazing disciple, the order she founded and the network that carries Your Name: the Eternal Word Television Network. Praise God!
 
I used to watch Mother on TV in the late 70’s, and was thrilled to go see her in person when she came to Houston. She has greatly influenced and blessed my life. I love Mother Angelic, and am so very thankful for EWTN.
 
She has given great advice and I was tune in to listen for more and evangelize.
 
I’m a cradle Catholic, but when I watched EWTN and Mother Angelica, I really learned more about my faith.

She speaks in PLAIN language and has guts!! Everyone should read the book about her by Raymond Arroyo…it’s a book you can’t put down.

Thank you God for giving us this woman with strong faith. 🙂
Ignorance of the Scriptures is ignorance of Christ.
 
I brought up this old poll because she has helped me greatly. It is an amazing story how God has worked through her. She is a huge part of me coming back to the church a year ago. EWTN is a God send for me. It is true Catholicism. I never miss her shows reruns. Her wisdom is amazing and boundless. I could listen to her all day long. God bless Mother Angelica.
