If you, like me, enjoyed Raymond Arroyo's outstanding biography of Rita Rizzo (aka Mother Angelica), you may be interested in another Arroyo/Angelica offering, Mother Angelica's Little Book of Life Lessons and Everyday Spirituality . It's one of those collections of a person's aphorisms and quotable sayings, arranged more or less topically. Here's a sampling:
A Christian does not strain after God the way one seeks a lost object, he merely becomes more and more aware of what he already possesses.
The whole world needs to hear two things with strength and power: "God loves you" and "I love you." You must say it often to your friends. This world is not starving from a lack of money. It's starving from a want of love.
We have lost the theology of risk. There is an inner confidence that we've lost. We've lost zeal. We've lost guts. Unless you are willing to do the ridiculous, God will not do the miraculous.
