“Is detachment the answer to freedom? No, because detachment is negative - it is to be without. The answer must be positive - I must replace what I have with something better.”

Mother Angelica
“I am not like a pebble on the beach - a grain of sand on the seashore or just one of millions of human beings past, present and future. No, I am a unique human being loved by God as if I were an only child - the only fruit of his creative powers.”
Mother Angelica“When anyone arouses my anger, I will immediately pray for them and regain my peace of soul.”
Mother Angelica“When our neighbor's personality possesses harsh qualities, we show our love by not voluntarily provoking those qualities in any way. Past experience shows us what upsets a person, so in their presence we are careful not to do or say those things that cause anger. We are self-effacing.”
Mother Angelica“The wisdom of God is so great that He also knows exactly what I would think and do under every possible circumstance and situation, and he placed me in that state of life and situation best suited for my salvation.”
Mother Angelica“When our weaknesses affect health and friendship, we are very much aware of their existence.”
Mother Angelica“Two of man's basic needs are to love and to share. Both of these needs are satisfied in greater or lesser degree by friendship.”
Mother Angelica“Our lack of forgiveness makes us hate, and our lack of compassion makes us hard-hearted. Pride in our hearts makes us resentful and keeps our memory in a constant whirlwind of passion and self-pity.”
Mother Angelica“Jesus wants us to trust him to take care of all our yesterdays and tomorrows.”
Mother Angelica“Is detachment the answer to freedom? No, because detachment is negative - it is to be without. The answer must be positive - I must replace what I have with something better.”
Mother Angelica“St. Paul did not want the sufferings encountered by being a Christian to discourage or dishearten anyone. He realized that when the Christian saw the blessings and grace that poured upon him after his trials, he would gain courage to suffer in his turn.”
