mother angelica quote god make all kinds of saints

A saint is the last to admit or know that he is a saint. We should not aim to be a great saint for the purpose of being a great saint. “A saint is one who empties himself and takes on the image of Jesus, so that person and Jesus are look-alikes. So for today’s blog post on the Solemnity of All Saints, here are 10 quotes from Mother Angelica on the Saints – some are funny, some will give us hope, and some will allow us to see that the saintly life isn’t all that far from where we are now. With that being said, I am so glad that she told us the truth, the weaknesses, and the shortcomings of the saints for so many years, since it gives me hope that I have a chance “to get up there” someday too. Come to think of it, it should have been included in my first blog post about her. I don’t know about you, but that quote made me laugh out loud the first time I read it. I’ve been telling the truth about the saints for so many years, nobody will want to talk to me when I get up there.” “I love to pick the saints apart, but I fear there’ll have to be a solitary confinement in heaven, just for me. She would often speak her mind on the saints, so often she knew that when she did get to Heaven they might have a special place for her. And although she had a great love for the Saints and wanted everyone she encountered to achieve sanctity as they did, she didn’t sugarcoat their lives, since many of their lives were just like ours – they suffered, they sinned, and they were just miserable at times. If you don’t know, Mother Angelica was pretty hard on the Saints, particularly the Apostles of Jesus.

And, if she isn’t there by now, God help the rest of us. I say could be since she might be there or still making her way there, but nevertheless, for today’s blog post and the humor that lies within some of these quotes from her, we will say that she is there. It is also the first All Saints’ Day when Mother Angelica could be a resident of the Heavenly Kingdom.

Today we celebrate one of the great days in the Catholic Church – the Solemnity of All Saints.
