Used to giving lessons each morning to the Sisters after breakfast, Mother Angelica was invited by a local Protestant church to teach a Bible study in 1971. Her reputation as a charismatic teacher quickly spread, and she soon found herself with many local and then national speaking engagements. Because of requests for printed versions of her lessons, she and the Sisters began a book apostolate in 1973, printing, packaging, and shipping millions of mini-books and leaflets around the country and the world.

• "Let us contemplate Your Heart, Lord Jesus, a Heart that is loving each one of us with a personal love. We desire to make reparation to Your Sacred Heart by dedicating our lives to following the gospel, to loving as You love, to doing the Father's Will and to radiating the joy that comes from loving hearts. Our sins are beyond comprehension, our weaknesses like the grains of sand on the shore, but Your love encompasses all things and makes all things new. Let our lives be a witness to the power of Your Sacred Heart as it fills our souls with the fire of its Love. Let all of heaven sing out in a loud voice, 'Love is loved by those whose tiny spark has become one flame with the unlimited fire of His Sacred Heart.'" - Mother M. Angelica
• "Must my walk be in pure faith, my only assurance Your Providence, and my strength Your Will? Must my soul cry out in anguish and then hear only the sounds of its own echo. . . Let my fumbling ways be a poem of desire to tell You I love You. Let my weaknesses and failures be like a plaintive cry of a wounded bird that cannot fly to its nest alone. Let my nothingness be lost in Your Omnipotence so I may never be separated from You. 'You will weep no more. He will be gracious to you when He hears your cry; when He hears He will answer.' (Isaiah 30:19)." - Mother M. Angelica
