Let us pause this morning to note the passing of Mother Angelica (appropriately on Easter Sunday), the founder of the national (if not international) Catholic cable channel, Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN). EWTN bring Mass services, Chaplet of Divine Mercy recitations, rosary prayers, and other programming particularly for people such as my wife Peggy who is rarely able to attend Mass in person any longer. She regularly has EWTN on; the Mass is on now as I write this. Most probably do not know that EWTN is headquartered not in a major metropolitan area like nearly all of the other cable networks, but in the small town of Irondale on the outskirts of Birmingham, Alabama. Mother’s outsized, feisty personality is likely the reason that EWTN has become so firmly established.

The Francis of Assisi for our time. May she rest in peace.

Later on I saw your post about her, Sid.
