8. The Gift of
Life: He Chose Me to Be
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you." (Jer. 1:5) Our
minds cannot comprehend how special each soul is to God. We do not
understand the dignity that is ours when His Goodness chose each one of us
to live, to think, to know, to see, to love.
9. The Healing
Power of Suffering
"The sufferings of this life not only make our temperament more
like the Divine Personality of Jesus, but detach us from the things of
this world. This Divine preparation opens our souls to the working and
pruning of the Father."
10. Healing Your
Faith vs. Faith Healing
The prayer of the Christian is always answered, for his prayer is
in faith. Mother Angelica shows us what attitude we should have when we
ask God for healing.
11. His Pain -
Like Mine
Jesus understands what we suffer, because He suffered it before
us. And He knows why we're called on to suffer.
12. His Silent
Presence
"Perhaps the secret of all prayer and holiness of life is wrapped
in God's plea to listen-to listen to His Silent Presence-that Presence
that penetrates our being and keeps us in existence-that Presence that
fills our souls with love and serenity-that Presence that makes us strong
when we feel weak."
13. Holiness in
Action
"In everything that happens, Jesus is sounding the call to
holiness."

Sandals

17. In Praise of
Goodness
"As children of God it is our happy privilege to radiate the
goodness of our Father."
18. Inside the
Kingdom
People have argued for centuries about Heaven. Some say it is a
place and others say it is a state, but Scripture indicates it is both. It
tells us in many places the Kingdom of Heaven is "within" and "among" us.
Jesus tells us, "No one has gone up to Heaven except the One who came down
from Heaven, "the Son of Man who is in Heaven."
19. Jesus My
Savior
God's Will is that we are all saved-that we imitate Jesus in our
daily lives -that we accomplish His holy and perfect Will-that we see His
Providence in the present moment- and that we love our neighbor in the way
He loves him.

the majority it is a cry in times of distress.
22. Knowing
God's Will
Excerpts from TWO WILLS
— HIS AND MINE "The difficulty
most of us experience is not so much in doing God's Will as in simply
knowing what that Will is for us." In this tract Mother Angelica gives us
some direction in discovering what God's Will is for our life.
23. Living
Prayer
"We are often the cause of our own misery and unhappiness and we
run from place to place looking for relief and find none. In our effort to
acquire peace of mind we do not see the real cause of our uneasiness-a
lack of compassion and humility."

Sacrament - Matrimony
