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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.
