years …. a year …. a day spent in remembering, pondering, celebrating Saint Angela.
A celebration in some way captures a reality and holds it ever present. Its riches continue to flow. To celebrate Angela is to be brought together in admiration and thanksgiving. To reflect upon her life is to be inspired by her example. To come to her in prayer is to experience union with God. To listen to her instructions is to hear the heart of the Gospel, love. To share in her charism is to be deeply involved in the mission of the Church. To capture her spirit is to live in “highest hope.” To love as she did love is to share in an espousal relationship with the Trinity. To know her teachings is to have wisdom. Today we come with Angela and we enter into the Sacred Liturgy. Continued on other side
