Mother Angelica, host of the Mother Miriam Live show on Life Site News, is in a pickle. She has been taken in by the Bishop of Tyler, Texas, Joseph Strickland, who has opened his arms to her and her order into his diocese. And guess what? They re having vocations once again.
00:05:52.740And to my great happiness, he called me, John Henry, it was a year ago, Christmas, out of the blue, when so many bishops, two of them put me out.
00:06:05.900And one of them put me out because our name was Mother of Israel, or excuse me, Daughters of Mary, Mother of Israel's Hope, and didn't want any Jewish community coming to haunt him, which they already had asked him to put me out, and he did.
00:06:24.100So it's been an amazing journey, but Bishop Strickland, most priests, I'll just be frank with you, John Henry, don't want me because of the radio and LifeSite News.
00:06:37.240And Bishop Strickland called me because of that.
00:06:39.700Blessed be his holy priesthood and bishopric.
00:08:49.440And another facility that will hold our chapel, refectory, our sewing room for habits, our parlor for visitors, our office, everything we need.
00:09:50.900We don't need the full money before then, but they're not interested in selling it to us if we cannot pay the whole thing up front, because many people have wanted it, but they don't have the money.
00:09:59.640So we have to have the cash by June 23rd, but they need to know within the next week or so that we'll have the money by June 23rd so people can donate, or they'll say, well, I can give to you the first week of June, as long as we have a pledge or an email or something that they see that we'll be able to make the deed.
00:10:21.020And that's the situation, and I'm just ecstatic.
00:10:31.280We live the rule of St. Benedict, and we want to teach the faith to families, and we want to reach out to every soul in the world.
00:10:39.380Our Lady of Fatima, as you know and have reported, said that the final battle will be for marriage and the family.
00:10:45.680And so the fact that we have been attacked, very directly satanic attacks when we began in St. Louis under Cardinal Burke, tangible attacks that I'll never forget that form a person, and since then put out of a couple of dioceses and off a radio station, two and two is four.
00:11:04.180We live for nothing but marriage and the family, and that's the instrument God has chosen to build his kingdom, which is why it is Satan's target to destroy.
00:11:16.820And all this about so-called same-sex marriage and gender ideology and transhumanism, the evil has one object to destroy the family.
00:11:28.460They can't destroy the church, but when you destroy the family, you destroy the church.
00:12:10.280To celebrate the momentous overturning of Roe v. Wade, we at LifeSite have minted just under 10,000 of these brand-new limited-edition pro-life silver rounds.
00:12:18.760Now, each round is stamped with the image of the Supreme Court of the United States featuring the date that the High Court delivered this historic victory.
00:12:26.300And on the front of our pure silver rounds, LifeSite's logo surrounded by a brilliant sunburst and draped with olive branches.
00:12:32.340They, of course, commemorate our 25-year anniversary of LifeSite News.
00:12:40.960These one-ounce silver rounds are available from our partners at StJoseph'sPartners.com, where you can fulfill all of your silver and gold needs in this perilous time.
00:14:16.100But I knew whoever these nuns were, that they're in the world who affect the world for God.
00:14:22.440And I thought to myself, instead, alas, the world is affected them.
00:14:26.780Now, because of the shortening of habits, I didn't know a thing about Vatican II, Catholic, zero.
00:14:34.500It was in the middle of the miniskirt era in New York.
00:14:37.420And I assumed it was a religious accommodation to the miniskirt era.
00:14:41.060But the thing, John Henry, that is sealed forever in my body is that at that moment with that news, a physical bolt, like an electric bolt, just went through me and paralyzed me for a second or two.
00:15:11.920I never forgot about it, but that was it.
00:15:14.460And 26 years later, when I was looking into the Catholic Church, and I listened to a certain troublemaker called Scott Hahn.
00:15:21.920And he said, for the one who will look into the claims of the Catholic Church and church history, all of that, because I had been full-time Protestant ministry, I graduated Protestant seminary through saved Catholics.
00:15:33.680And so Scott said, whoever will look into the claims of the Catholic Church, he said, to that one will come, all his words, a holy shock and a glorious happening or something.
00:15:47.000A glorious holy shock and a glorious something, awakening, that the church he had been fighting against, moi, and trying to save people from was, in fact, the church Christ established on earth 2,000 years ago.
00:16:01.500That holy shock, Scott's words, I'm telling you now, and I have goosebumps.
00:16:06.500The same thing happened right then as happened when I was 19.
