“GRACE IS A PARTICIPATION,” St. Peter says, “IN THE DIVINE NATURE.” What an awesome gift from God. God is within me in a stronger way. I had the seed of God the Father in my memory, the Son in my intellect, the Spirit in my will. All these three were given to me as a baby at Baptism. But all seeds must grow or they rot. There’s no intermediate between growth and rot. If ... that seed grows, that image of God, grows in me as I correspond to the present moment.” ~ Mother Angelica

A Very Happy 87th Birthday to Our Mother Angelica!!! Today, April 20th is another big milestone for Mother who continues, day by day, to live ‘in the present moment.’ She tireless taught her way of living the Christian life - living in the present moment - over her years as Mother, television host, foundress and friend. Each of these years have been years of growth for Mother even as she remains the same endearing, strong, and spunky woman countless have grown to love. Please continue to keep Mother Angelica in your prayers as she continues to hold all the EWTN family close in mind and heart!
