MOTHER MARY ANGELICA, P.C.P.A.

Mother Angelica, was born Rita Rizzo in Canton, Ohio on the 20th of April, 1923. Physical suffering would accompany Rita throughout her life. In her teenage years, she was plagued with a severe stomach ailment, which was only relieved after fervent recourse to the intercession of St. Therese at the recommendation of the mystic, Rhoda Wise. Realizing God’s immense love for her through this in-credible recovery, Rita resolved to give herself totally to God. Rita Rizzo entered the PCPA monastery in Cleveland on August 15, 1944 and a year later received the holy habit and the name her mother chose for her – Sister Mary Angelica of the Annunciation. Soon after this transition into the novitiate, the Cleveland Monastery established a new foundation in Canton, and Sr. Angeli-ca was chosen to be a member of the new community there. On January 2, 1947 she made her first profession of vows and the same date in 1953, gave herself irrevocably to her Spouse through solemn vows. During a typical day of work at Sancta Clara Monastery, Sr. Angelica had yet another life changing experience. Thrown by an electric floor-scrubbing machine while cleaning, Sister suffered a terrible back injury and faced an operation that threatened to leave her paralyzed. This tenacious nun promised God that if she could walk after the surgery, she would build Him a monastery in the South. True to her word and God’s goodness, the sur-gery was a success and Sister Angelica began the arduous process of obtaining the permissions and raising the funds to build a monastery. The Sisters collaborated on an unusual fundraising project, “St. Peter’s Fishing Lur-es,” to raise money for the new monastery. On May 8, 1962, Mother Angelica, Sister Raphael, Sister Joseph, Sister Michael and Sister Assumpta, the founding Sisters of Our Lady of the Angels Monastery, left Sancta Clara Monastery in Canton OH for the new foundation in Alabama. After the Nuns had made their new home in Irondale and funds were still desper-ately needed, the creation of the “Lil ‘Ol Peanut Co.” helped to keep the monastery running. In 1972, almost a decade after the founding of the monastery, Mother Angelica’s charisma and gift of teaching unfolded even more when she began to write “Mini Books.” The Sisters printed, packaged and shipped these inspired works by the thousands. After many leaps of faith, on August 15, 1981, Mother Angelica launched Eternal Word Television Network at 6:00 PM. It was a day of great rejoicing for all the community. It was hardly foreseeable that this new mission-ary endeavor that had begun in the OLAM garage with only $200.00, would become the great media apostolate that it is today. The Nuns supported the Network from the beginning, taking calls at the telethons, giving tours to visitors, opening mail, printing programs, and most of all praying for the work God had surprisingly entrusted to these cloistered nuns! A rather visible change in the Sister’s life occurred in August 1993. Mother Angelica made a decisive public stand for orthodoxy at the Denver WYD, and announced that the Sisters at OLAM would return to wearing the full traditional habit. Mother’s zeal to make the God she loved, known and loved by others, continued to grow throughout her life unabated. Year after year and opportunity after opportunity gave rise to Mother’s spiritual talks, writing and printing of Mini Books, studio productions and the beginning of EWTN – what would become a Catholic Multime-dia Enterprise – all which ran astride and flowed from her dedication to Jesus, the Eternal Word made Flesh. Her unswerving commitment and fidelity to the will of God, manifested in the present moment, served to point others to the path of holiness. As the Poor Clare Nuns at the monastery in Irondale grew in numbers, and as EWTN continued to expand and thrive, Mother decided to move the community to a more rural place, conducive to the contemplative way of life. The inspiration for the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament adjacent to OLAM, received its beginning at the request of the Divine Child while Mother was traveling in Bogota Columbia for an EWTN promotion.

On Christmas Eve, 2001, Mother Angelica suffered a severe cerebral hemorrhage. She made a remarkable recovery but since that day never regained full ability to speak. She was named Abbess Emeritus and she received in 2009 the papal medal of honor, the Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice Cross. On Easter Sunday, March 27, 2016, at Our Lady of the Angels Monastery, close to 5:00 PM, Mother Mary Angelica of the Annunciation, PCPA passed peacefully from this life to God.

“I want very much to spread devo on to the Divine Child Jesus. Not only is He powerful, but what you and I need is family— and that Child Jesus will make us one again. He will put love in our hearts, where it should be.” - Mother Angelica

Holy Innocents Bookshelf

Mother Angelica on God, His Home, and His Angels

How can I experience God? What are His angels like? What will I know, feel, and sense in Heaven? In these insightful pages, Mother Angelica answers these and countless more otherworldly questions – not Mother Angelica the teacher, but Mother Angelica the mystic.

These pages are the fruit of her intense, lifelong Eucharistic contemplation, and were written in the hundreds of hours she spent in adoration of our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. Out of Her communion with Jesus have come these mystical insights into the nature of God, the experience of Heaven, and the active work of His holy angels

Praying with Mother Angelica

Meditations on the Rosary and the Way of the Cross

Mother Angelica’s meditations combine the spiritual insights of a master with the warmth of a loving mother. Her short but powerful reflections will lift your soul to Heaven and lead you into a thoughtful and penetrating reflection on the love of God and the life of Our Lady.

Beloved by countless Catholics when they were first released in the 1970s, these devotional medita-tions — including the Mysteries of the Rosary, the Way of the Cross, and other original prayers — are a treasury that will allow you to pray as Mother faithfully taught.

Mother Angelica on Christ and Our Lady

As Mother Angelica spent time in adoration before the Blessed Sacrament, she’d write down insights she was given on the life of Jesus and His Immaculate Mother. Those insights have now been collected in this first-of-its-kind volume, bringing you to a deeper appreciation for the life story of Our Lady, the personality of Jesus, the depths of His love, the Beatitudes, and His Sacred Heart.

Mother Angelica on Prayer and Living for the Kingdom

Mother Angelica deepens your understanding of prayer and the practicalities of living with our ultimate purpose—eternity in heaven with Jesus. Mother Angelica dedicated her life to prayer and her ministry to directing the gaze of her viewers and listeners to heaven; this volume brings together, for the first time, the writing on these topics that preceded and inspired her extraordinary media ministry.

In this book Mother invites you into her world of prayer, including discussions of the various types of prayer that can be found in the rich tradition of the Catholic Church. She also offers you some of her original prayers that will enhance your daily spiritual life.

Mother Angelica on Suffering and Burnout

Mother Angelica provides consolation and advice that only a spiritual mother can provide, helping you to understand the purpose of suffering, how it can be redemptive, and when to know you’re allowing your suffering to go to waste. You’ll also learn about dryness in prayer and how it can be a gift, as well as how to respond to what she calls “spiritual hangovers.”

You’ll learn how Christ is closest to you when He is silent, and how His silence can be one of the most powerful and purifying elements of the spiritual life.

Finally, Mother Angelica shows you that what Jesus needs most from you is gratitude, trust, and, indeed, weakness.

Mother Angelica’s Quick Guide to the Sacraments

In these pages, Mother Angelica will lead you to discover the spiritual secrets embedded in each of the seven sacraments and how those secrets can help you live the sacramental life to its fullest, helping you get more out of Holy Communion, exposing you to the grace God desperately wants to give you in Confession, as well as the beautiful gifts found only in the Sacrament of Matrimony, and how you can enter into the mystery of Christ in Adoration.

Mother Angelica’s Guide to Practical Holiness

Mother Angelica revolutionized Catholic media and popularized the universal call to holiness, bringing this fundamental Catholic teaching to generations of the faithful. Here in this book is the essence of Mother’s thought on this topic, presented in ways that only she can teach.

OUR LADY OF MT. CARMEL - July 16

A most efficacious prayer to Our Lady O, most beautiful flower of Mount Carmel, Fruit of the Vine, splendorous of Heaven. Blessed Mother of the Son of God, Immaculate Virgin, assist me in this my necessity. O, Star of the Sea, help me and show herein you are my mother. O, Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and earth, I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succour me in my necessity. There are none that can withstand your power, O, show me here you are my mother. O, Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to Thee. Sweet Mother, I place this cause in your hands. Amen.

Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, Star of the Sea, pray for us!

We shall honor Our Lady by offering enrollment in the Brown Scapular for those who have never been en-rolled before following all the Masses. Enrollment in the Brown Scapular is once for life. Even if you stopped wearing the Scapular after having been en-rolled, you need just begin wearing it again. Also, it is not necessary to have each new Brown Scapular blessed. If you are enrolled the blessing carries over to each new scapular. This is logical thinking as Car-melite Priests and Nuns do not get each new habit blessed or go through another clothing ceremony when their habit wears out.

LEGION OF MARY – REGINA MUNDI

The Holy Innocents Legion of Mary group meets each Monday in the Parish Hall follow-ing the 6 p. m. Mass. For more information on joining this ministry as an active or auxiliary member please contact James Hackett at: [email protected].

Often children who have died before birth have no grave or headstone, and sometimes not even a name. At The Church of The Holy Innocents, we invite you to name your child(ren) and to have the opportunity to have your baby's name inscribed in our "BOOK OF LIFE". Here, a candle is always lit in their memory. All day long people stop to pray. On the first Monday of every month, our 12:15pm Mass is celebrated in honor of these children and for the comfort of their families. We pray that you will find peace in knowing that your child(ren) will be remembered at the Shrine and honored by all who pray here.

We will inscribe the names of babies who have died before and at birth in our Book of Life, and as always, we invite

you to visit the Shrine if you are in New York City.

VOLUNTEER SINGERS NEEDED

"Be filled with the Spirit, addressing one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual canticles, singing and making melody to the Lord with all your heart, al-ways and for everything giving thanks..."

- Ephesians Ch 5.

GOD WANTS TO BE KNOWN

The Old Testament reading from Deuteronomy praises God for inscribing the commandments in our very bod-ies. God’s law is not distant or foreign, but a natural part of us. In his letter to the Colossians, Saint Paul echoes Moses, praising God for becoming one of us. The truly human, flesh-and-blood Jesus reminds us that God always wants to be recognizable and familiar to us. Je-sus, who is also truly God, wants to be on intimate terms with each of us.

God’s passionate desire to be known by us is almost too wonderful to take in. Luke’s Gospel helps us under-stand how to respond. The Good Samaritan parable pro-vides practical advice for those who believe in God’s intimate love for them and want to share that love with others. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co
