I'm not afraid to fail...I'm scared to death of dying and having the Lord say to me, 'Angelica, this is what you might have done had you trusted more.

I guess that is what dying must be like to be finished and to be able to look back at the struggles of life, and know that God was your constant companion.

We did not happen to be--we were chosen by God to exist.

If you want to be holy, if you seek meaning in your life, start looking into your own life and attacking your pride in all of its many forms. God will give you extraordinary light and the ultimate reward of holiness. For your holiness relies not on what you do, but on what you allow God to do through you. Have courage. God will perfect you.

Lord # God , I praise Your Holy Name. Let every beat of my heart be a note of love in the symphony of my life.

God wants you to be in the world, but so different from the world that you will change it. Get cracking.

Our minds are so undisciplined that our doubts rule our lives and we don't master our imagination - it masters us.

If you're not a thorn in somebody's side, you aren't doing Christianity right.

Jesus is giving you such an opportunity to be holy, holier than all the saints that have ever been, because the world is in such need of shining lives, beacons to see by.

The suffering of this life not only can make our temperament more like the Divine Personality of Jesus, but it detaches us from this world. This Divine preparation opens our souls to the working and pruning of the Father.

Holiness is not for wimps and the cross is not negotiable, sweetheart, it's a requirement.

Faith is one foot on the ground, one foot in the air, and a queasy feeling in the stomach.

It's your obligation to speak the truth, and everyone can either take it or leave it. But truth must be in us. We live in such a poverty of truth today.

God always forgives when you are totally repentant and you desire to change. He forgives... and He never gets tired of forgiving. Never. You may get tired asking. I hope not. He never, never tires of forgiving. Never.

Sometimes my worst day - one filled with pain and suffering - in the eyes of God, is my best day if I've born it cheerfully and I've born it with love.

God is not a slot machine. We don't go to God to get something we go to give something.
