Yesterday, Mother Angelica, founder of the Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN) passed away after a long illness. Whilst I was never an avid watcher of her TV show (EWTN isn't quite as mainstream here in the UK), the few times I've heard her speak, I've always been very moved by her faith and her witness to Jesus.
Here's a little clip from the end of one of her live shows, where I think you can get a real sense of her faith and her warm personality:
Anyway, just wanted to bring her to people's attention since I've always found her very inspiring.
Please pray for her and for her fellow sisters at Our Lady of the Angels Monastery.
