NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

The extraordinary saga of Mother Angelica—who passed away on Easter, 2016—founder of the multimillion-dollar Eternal Word Television Network and “the most influential Catholic woman in America” according to Time magazine

In 1981, the year after Ted Turner founded CNN, a simple nun, using merely her entrepreneurial instincts and $200, launched what would become the world’s largest religious media empire in the garage of a Birmingham, Alabama, monastery. Under her guidance, the Eternal Word Television Network grew at a staggering pace, both in viewership and in influence, to where it now reaches over a hundred million viewers in hundreds of countries around the globe.

Born Rita Rizzo in Canton, Ohio, in 1923, Mother Angelica was abandoned by her father and raised in poverty by a mother who suffered from suicidal depressions. As a young woman, Rita developed severe abdominal pain that doctors dismissed as a “nervous condition,” but when she sought the prayers of a local mystic, her symptoms disappeared. Awakened to the power of prayer, she vowed to dedicate her life to God and became a cloistered nun, expecting to spend her life hidden from the world. But Rita’s faith soon compelled her to unlikely endeavors, from establishing a monastery in Alabama to starting the world’s first Catholic cable network. Relying solely on “God’s providence,” Mother Angelica built an empire without concern for budgets or fund-raising campaigns, achieving what even the highest levels of the Catholic Church had been unable to do.

Raymond Arroyo combines his journalist’s objectivity and eye for detail with more than five years of exclusive interviews with Mother Angelica. He traces Mother Angelica’s tortured rise to success and exposes for the first time the fierce opposition she faced, both inside and outside of her church. It is an inspiring story of survival and proof that one woman’s faith can move more than mountains.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“This is some woman. What a wonderful story Raymond Arroyo has written—wonderful because it’s true, because he got the facts, because she chose him to tell them, and because he’s a born storyteller.”—Peggy Noonan, author of When Character Was King

“Mother Angelica’s personal words to me, her courageous example, and her constant prayers helped inspire my portrayal of Jesus in The Passion of the Christ. No one could have captured the essence of this modern-day saint better than Raymond Arroyo. His narrative gifts and understanding of Mother are clearly evident in this truthful and often candid depiction of one nun’s struggle to bring God to the multitudes. Surely this book, and Mother’s life will have an incredible enduring legacy.”—James Caviezel, actor

This is an excellent biography. Well written and well performed. I had seen Mother on TV for many years but never knew all of her story. She was a wonderful woman and deserves to be a saint. EWTN helped me convert to Catholism and I thank Mother for getting me here!

An excellent story of a wonderful and saintly woman

Such a thoughtfully written account of Mother Angelica’s life. I could tell in some parts where Raymond tried hard to be objective and then there were parts where there was no such pretense. :) I appreciated all the in-depth looks into Mother’s childhood, girlhood and life before the cloister. Initially I was mildly annoyed with the author “voicing” Mother Angelica and all the other people mentioned in the book. By the end though, I was won over. I literally HEARD Mother Angelica speaking, especially during the author’s account of quotes from Mother Angelica toward the end of her life. It’s so clear that Raymond Arroyo was feeling deeply these words of the beloved abbess, and it made it all the more impactful. Highly recommend!

Raymond Arroyo weaves an amazing tapestry of the life and times of Mother Angelica.

"Mother Angelica: The Remarkable Story of a Nun, Her Nerve, and a Network of Miracles" by Raymond Arroyo unveils the extraordinary life of Mother Angelica, a figure who has been a beacon of light and guidance not only to Catholics but to people of various faiths across the globe. Growing up as a Protestant child, I found solace in the late-night broadcasts of Mother Angelica Live. There was something about her presence on the screen that conveyed safety and love, making me feel as though I was in the company of someone truly special. It wasn't until I delved into Arroyo's profound narrative of her life that I fully grasped the magnitude of her influence and the divine orchestration of her journey. Mother Angelica's unwavering faith, her miraculous endeavors to establish the Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN), and her exemplary perseverance through suffering illuminated her sainthood in my eyes, ultimately playing a pivotal role in my own conversion to Catholicism.

Listening to her story on Audible brought a myriad of emotions, often moving me to tears. The vivid recounting of Mother Angelica's life, her trials, and her triumphs over adversities provided a tangible sense of her spirit and legacy. Her ability to embrace and bear her crosses with such grace and strength inspires me to approach my own trials with a renewed sense of courage and faith. Mother Angelica's enduring presence in my life, through her teachings and reruns of her shows on YouTube, continues to be a source of comfort and spiritual guidance. Her life's work, marked by miracles and an unwavering commitment to spreading the Gospel, leaves an indelible impact that transcends time. As I plan to revisit and immerse myself in the entire series of books about her life, I hold onto the belief that Mother Angelica's sanctity is deserving of canonization. Her legacy is a testament to the power of faith, and I join many in praying for her intercession. Mother Angelica, forever etched in my heart and prayers, please pray for us.
