A well-used Bible!

I was watching an episode of Mother Angelica Live, and the cameramen included a rare (as far as I know) look at Mother Angelica's bible!  It has certainly been read and re-read, and she was not too timid to underline and take notes in it!

More wit from Mother Angelica

Watching Mother Angelica this morning on EWTN, a caller asked about those who do not about the Eucharist or the Church at all. Mother Angelica said (roughly): "Oh, there's a good passage about that in Luke ... {flipping through the pages, unable to find it} ... oh, I'm looking like a good Catholic now ..."

She was referring, of course, to that typical Catholic stereotype of knowing excerpts of the Bible, but not knowing where those excerpts are located!

She did eventually find it. Luke 12, concerning the servant who knows his master's business.

Mother Angelica quote on Catholic devotions

Mother Angelica on this week's EWTN Religious Catalogue, regarding the How-To Book of Catholic Devotions: "Now some of you can name every single Satanic heavy metal rock group out there and all their songs... and you don't know a single Catholic devotion. That says something, because, let me tell you... that other stuff will get you nowhere."
