It’s not that others don’t go to Heaven it’s simply that they haven’t been officially recognized. Some saints are officially declared being in God’s presence – which is the official canonization process however, as an RCIA teacher once told my husband, there are millions of saints in Heaven whose names we simply do not know. To be a saint simply requires one to join God in Heaven, and live with Him eternally. And, I am looking forward to seeing if the Catholic Church will begin its steps toward canonization for such an inspirational evangelist. I could not think of a more fitting date for her to join her love. It also did not escape my notice that she died on Easter Sunday – the same day the love of her life, Jesus Christ, rose from the dead. The news was not completely a surprise, as various networks of Catholic news sources had recently been reporting about how ill she had been for the past decade or so. As I was headed to bed last night, I saw news that Mother Angelica, the instrumental voice of wit, wisdom, and Catholic explanation had passed away yesterday morning.
