Catholic World News notes that
Launched in 1981, from the garage of a Poor Clare monastery, EWTN today is the world's largest religious broadcasting network, transmitting programming 24 hours a day to more than 105 million homes in 110 countries.
According to its website, EWTN is entirely supported by donations from viewers. Truly, this is a remarkable result of the exercise of consumer choice in favor of spiritually satisfying programming and a willingness to support that choice by placing money where the heart is.
I offer the following as the St. Maximos' quote of the week from EWTN's foundress:
Unless you are willing to do the ridiculous, God will not do the miraculous.
