[And there came a voice from heaven] “You are my Son, the beloved: in you I am well pleased.” (Mark 1:11) “…I am continually among them with my Lover, or rather, the Lover of us all…” (Fifth Counsel, 38) The Lover is Jesus Christ, the Son of God… When I think of Saint Angela, a biblical woman, I understand where she gained her teachings, actually her charism: from the Word of God.
