Mother Angelica has such great love for the Holy Eucharist that she would do anything to protect and respect Him, even if that means consuming Him after having been covered by dirt for [b]three years[/b]. We should all have that kind of love for Him. [/quote] Even 3 months 3 weeks or 3 days would still make the story relevant... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

let_go_let_God Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 This does give a bit more perspective to the, "Lord when did we see you hungry, thirsty, naked or in prison?" story. HCF truly saw our Lord in distress and helped Him. Praise God. God bless- LGLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's call it a third hand story that occurred over 20 years ago that has probably been embellished over the years.

homeschoolmom Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 HCF-- I am really delighted that this matter is resolved. Since there is really nothing more to discuss in this thread, I'm going to close it before it desolves into bickering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
