Pcpa's Of Olam

I just finished reading the biography of Mother Angelica by Raymond Arroyo. Wow. What an incredible woman. I love how he depicts her humanity, doesn't hide her imperfections, doesn't canonize her, just tells her story. I'm so grateful for what she did (or what the Holy Spirit did through her) for the Church in the United States. I don't want to know where we would be without her. Amazing how God used a Poor Clare to build a global radio and television network, and re-evangelize the Church in a country that was nearly off the rails of orthodoxy and living faith.

A very generous fellow from the USA gave me a copy but I have not finished reading them.

 

I agree, Mother Angelica is an incredible woman of faith.  She did not allow her disability limit her.

I believe it's not a motherhouse though - it's the founding monastery - they're autonomous I thought?

 

I think the correct term is Proto-Monastery.  

 

The Poor Clare Monastery in Assissi is called Proto-Monastery.
