It never occurred to me to pray for the successful satellite transmission of the Mass, but I guess from now on, that should be a main focus of our prayers. I was just so happy that it was being broadcast, and was thinking about myself and how much I would love it, that I never thought that there might be problems with the transmission. I really shouldn’t have been so surprised.

Just before the first satellite dish arrived, Sr. Regina had a vision in which she saw a black sky, a white satellite dish, and a flame emerging from the center. She heard God say, "This is my network, and it will glorify my Son." After the dish arrived a few weeks later, a photograph taken while it was installed reproduced Sr. Regina's vision: a black sky, the white dish, and a red flame emerging from its center. Professional photographers could not account for the red flame. Mother Angelica called it a miracle.
Thank you, Mother Angelica!
