Mother Angelica

Mother Angelica is a Catholic nun who has grown in popularity in the US by the blessings from God. Think about it. Why would a nun be able to have her own station and show? Why would she become so popular in the public eye? Gods blessing is the answer. She only wants to tell others about Christ and tell others of the wisdom God has shown her. EWTN is a station growing around the nation for one simple reason: Mother Angelica. Catholics are having a renewed yerning for God through her teachings and mainly due to the fact that she teaches more like a baptist or evangelical in her practical ideas of scripture. Unlike most Catholic priests who bore you with their rituals and memorized sermons Mother Angelica simply sits in a chair and just casually discusses what the spirit moves her to tell us. She also takes questions and gives Godly wisdom to others.

You may say like I do, "but shes Catholic". Yes she does occasionally comment on Mary and other teachings in Catholicism that are unbiblical but so do dispensational baptists and charasmatic denominations. Yes it would be even better if Angelica and all of these would just accept the word and teach only what the word does say but they dont. What I do see however is this: God is being glorified. Jesus is being taught and his righteousness is the foundation of her teachings. Peoples lives are being changed by her and people are being drawn to the cross and to Christ.
Mother Angelica is an instrument of God.

Mother Angelica had a bad stroke in 2001 and has not been in the picture since but her shows are being rerun more and more and it is now after her public ministry that she has become popular to the rest of the world. She is now bedridden but is still a blessing to her peers. Thank God for Mother Angelica. Its because of her that I realize that in every denomination is light from God. Even in so much man made rituals God can light a candle in a soul to show the people around them truth that only comes from God.
