The ideal politician for me is the one who has concern about your
soul – that you have freedom of religion, peace and joy, work,
security and assurance.” “Pray before you vote – vote in the name of
God. Pray that we will once again be a nation under God. Be brave,
speak out for Jesus – tell the world how wonderful He is. Visit him!
By your example will all men know. Words don’t mean much, example
speaks a thousand words. I love you but God loves you lots. Don’t
forget that.” Mother M. Angelica, P.C.P.A. |
