Mother Angelica Update

I came across the link to this EWTN updateon Mother Angelica via Spirit Daily. Check out the love of God that radiates from both Mother Angelica and newly consecrated Sister Ruth Marie.

Mother Angelica Update: Sunday, April 09, 2006

Mother Angelica’s maternal heart overflowed with joy as she received another daughter into Solemn Vows on the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord in the Temple. Despite the weakness Mother struggles with as a result of her stroke, she was able to be present at Sr. Ruth Marie’s Profession Mass. Everyone in attendance was pleasantly surprised by Mother’s strong voice during her participation in the ceremony.

After Sister pronounced her vows, Mother spoke her response in a very audible tone, “And I, on the part of God the Almighty, promise you, if you observe all this faithfully, life everlasting.” Both Mother's and Sister’s faces lit up at these words, which united Sr. Ruth Marie to her Eternal Bridegroom, after eight years of waiting. It was a great day of jubilation and Mother participated as much as possible in this day’s celebration.
