Mother Angelica needed to expand beyond the garage but lacked the funds. She had the gardener drive stakes into the ground, tie string around the stakes and then hang white cloth strips from the string. On a visit to the facility, a cardinal asked Mother about this odd arrangement adjacent to the garage. She explained that it was a visual reminder to God of where the future studio would be placed. Once he returned to his diocese, the cardinal arranged to send a donation to Mother Angelica.
"If God is for you, who can be against you?"
Catholic ping!
She laid siege to heaven!
