Mother Angelica has passed away today at the age of 92, according to the Eternal Word Television Network.

EWTN, the world's largest Catholic satellite network, was founded by Mother Angelica out of a garage next to the monastery she started in Irondale.

Mother Angelica also hosted a long-running talk show. Her show is still seen on reruns internationally.

She even received a video message from Pope Francis last month, when he asked the nun to pray for him.

Her health has declined over the year, but she wanted to remain alive as long as possible, she said.

My family and I offered prayers on her behalf last night.
I no longer view EWTN but many years ago we would watch her program.
I remember her speaking of the difficulties faced by faithful Catholics in Catholic institutions and seminaries, even from callers in same; that complained of the modernists and worse. She gave sound advice and encouragement to them and us by way of extension (viewing same program). She was courageous and not ashamed to be Catholic!
May God be praised in His faithful servants.
Eternal Rest Grant unto her oh Lord, and let Your perpetual Light shine upon her.

Let us hope that her work was not taken over by the Neokons. Or did this already happen?
