Nourishing her efforts with prayer, fasting, and sacrifice, Mother is content to leave the results in the hands of our Lord and our Lady. I know that I have tried. The twin pillars of Mother Angelica's efforts are profound eucharistic piety and deep devotion to the Mother of God. Two of the brothers from the Missionaries of the Eternal Word prostrate themselves on the floor in front of the altar during the consecration to help make reparation for the offenses against the Real Presence that take place in Catholic churches around the world. Mother urged all of her supporters to spend as much time as they can before the Blessed Sacrament and to be consecrated totally to Mary.
Mother Angelica is in constant physical pain because of a chronic spinal condition.
One would never know the extent of her suffering from the humor and joy that she exudes to those who are in her presence. Despite being concerned about the state of affairs within the Church, Mother maintained a lively spirit of faith, hope, and love throughout her commentary. She noted that it is precisely for love, for Love Himself, that she wants to continue to reach as many people as possible. That truth is Jesus Christ. And it is to Truth Himself that Mother has pledged her work as a communicator of the one, true faith until God calls her home to Himself.
