TRUSTING THE FUTURE

DO YOU NOT CARE
Mother Angelica discusses of each choice you make in life determines your eternal happiness and how it applies to salvation, the Scriptures and Christ's suffering, death and resurrection.
IT TAKES A SAINT
Mother explains how it takes a saint to live with a saint and that to live with a saint is to suffer in a different way than that of the saint. It is every bit as real and accepted by God.
BELIEVING WITHOUT SEEING
Mother Angelica has a saying when people are afraid to listen to God. She calls it the "Old Testament trust." In other words, something that people are reluctant to give up or some form of discomfort.
DECISIONS
Mother discusses the Beatitudes as decisions each of us must make during our lives. She makes a claim that the only investment that each of us must make during our life is in the Kingdom of God.
THE NORMAL REACTIONS
Mother gives detailed instructions on learning to stand tall and do what the Lord asks, regardless of the cost. She is preparing people for a time of great tribulation that she feels is very near.
YOU'VE GOT TO BE DIFFERENT
Mother emphasizes if we are to be an image of God, we must learn to say "I love you" and "I’m sorry" to those we love. We cannot accomplish the task of imaging God if we cannot say and truly mean those words.
