Synopsis

The founder of the world's largest religious media empire shares her beloved wit and down-to-earth spirituality in Mother Angelica's Private and Pithy Lessons from the Scriptures. Editor Raymond Arroyo draws on hundreds of never-before-released private lessons to present the renowned nun's definitive take on the Good Book. Angelica provides readers with guided meditations and probing personal questions, and unearths an often-overlooked practical spirituality. She doesn't just explain the stories, she relates them to our daily lives, helping even those who've never opened the Bible appreciate its power and life-altering lessons. The apostles Paul (the little shrimp), Peter (that great bungler), and all the characters of the scriptures are suddenly human again, complete with their foibles and triumphs. Here is the Greatest Story, newly told as only Mother Angelica can. The Bible and you will never be the same.

One of the first Audible books I listened to was Mother Angelica's Private and Pithy Lessons from the Scriptures.

Mother Angelica is so wise, funny, and practical. This collection of short Bible lessons and meditations is perfect for reading or listening while exercising or driving. It makes boring tasks fun and spiritually enriching. My favorite nugget of wisdom from Mother is that we all know how to meditate.......more

Goodreads review by Joseph on March 18, 2022

Mother Angelica, famous as the founder of EWTN, held many different Scripture studies throughout her life. Many were recorded (on tape, if you know what that is) and a selection has been made available by Raymond Arroyo, a friend and collaborator on the network. This book follows the Biblical struct......more
