About this episode

This episode explores the final years of Mother Angelica, highlighting her silent suffering and spiritual contributions from her monastery.

The world knew Mother Angelica as a media powerhouse - but her final 15 years were spent in silence, suffering, and total surrender. In this unforgettable episode of Arroyo Grande , Raymond Arroyo shares the story few have heard: the hidden mission of the woman behind EWTN. Confined after a stroke, unable to communicate freely, Mother Angelica’s greatest work may have just begun. From moments of humor to profound spiritual insight, this episode reveals how she embraced suffering, offered it for others, and continued to shape countless lives from a monastery room.
