Raymond Arroyo has another wonderful book about Mother Angelica. In this case, he has collected "a repository of her favorite prayers" (p x).
It is hard not to imagine Mother saying these prayers as you read them. Some of the prayers are for times of trial or suffering. And every time I think of an enclosed nun trying to start a television station with only $200 and the Holy Spirit I certainly know she went through times of true suffering.
Mother Angelica couldn't walk for years until her miracle. Yet her faith sustained her. And she would have had need for "A Prayer for Strength" which starts out "Love is a sublime prison...Your Spirit within me forms an invisble wall that protects me" (p 27). Isn't that beautiful?
I was greatly moved by this collection of prayers.Get more detail about The Prayers and Personal Devotions of Mother Angelica.
