"If my biography, Mother Angelica: The Remarkable Story of a Nun, Her Nerve, and a Network of Miracles, was the body of Mother's life, this is its lifeblood. Herein are the beliefs, teachings, life lessons, wit, and prayer that sustained Angelica's incredible journey." —Raymond Arroyo

On Perspective: "We're all trying to get master's degrees, and so often we forget the Master."
On Living in the Present: "My 'Do/Drop System' is to do it and drop it.…You don't dwell on the past."
On Suffering: "I can go to heaven with crippled legs. I can't get there being hateful or unforgiving."
On Faults: "Being afraid is not a problem. It's doing nothing when you're afraid that's the problem."
On Temptation: "You are a holy bunch of sinners, and I'm in the club too."
