Mother Angelica

Where could one even begin, but she would tell you where to start 
I can still picture her loving grin, always having Jesus in Her heart
She'd say start with Jesus Himself, tell of His great love for us all
And the stories, She had a wealth, always able to hear God's Call

She started EWTN T. V. station as no one thought it could succeed
Now it's in every Nation, as the Lord had told Her there was a need
Her Love for Jesus was so great that she gave off this special glow
And on Tuesday night I couldn't wait, it in being my favorite show

Her love for Jesus was so great the center of each story she'd tell
And she had this special trait because she knew the Lord so well
The lessons that were taught and all that wisdom that She had
Such a battle She had fought, all our hearts being gleefully sad

Having just passed on Easter Day in itself such a beautiful sign 
Oh how the Lord has a Special Way His Glory and Love Divine
Thank You for all You have done and your bright guiding Light 
Always having The Father's only Son as the basis of Your Sight


                                      Mother Angelica

A very beautiful tribute to Mother Angelica, Vincent.I remember when I used to watch her whenever I could and she was truly a very amazing human being. She will surely be missed by many of us but her great legacy of love compassion kindness and great love for God and Jesus will live on forever in so many wonderful ways and in all that she accomplished in his Holy name. Well shes at peace now smiling from Heaven I like to think.Wishing you a very lovely week!In his light God bless you!:) D.

Thank You Dorian. She was a special person who loved Jesus so much! Everything else was second, Jesus always came first. I believe Mother Angelica went straight up on that Easter Day. If she didn't, we're all in trouble. lol. God Bless! In praying for her I get some great wisdom in her tone yet. For I know what'd she say. Take care!
