Called “the Great Communicator” by Billy Graham and “a prophet of the times” by Pope Pius XII, Sheen was the voice of American Catholicism for nearly fifty years. In addition to his prolific writings, Sheen dominated the airwaves, first in radio, and later television, with his signature program “Life is Worth Living,” drawing an average of 30 million viewers a week in the 1950s. Sheen had the ears of everyone from presidents to the common men, women, and children in the pews, and his uplifting message of faith, hope, and love shaped generations of Catholics.

Book Synopsis Those Mysterious Priests by : Fulton J. Sheen
Download or read book Those Mysterious Priests written by Fulton J. Sheen and published by St Pauls BYB. This book was released on 2009-05 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this penetrating book written some five years before his death, Sheen explores the duality inherent in the vocation of the modern-day priest: his need, like that of Christ, to feel the holiness of God that binds him to the Father; and at the same time his need to become a victim, like Christ, for the world's sins, assuming its guilty and poverty in union with the Lord. "Those mysterious Priests" emphasizes the sense of obligation and spirituality that is such an essential part of any effective priesthood in the world of today.
Book Synopsis A Servant of God: Selected Writings of Fulton J. Sheen: Volume One: Preface to Religion, The Life of Christ, and The Priest is Not His O by : Fulton J. Sheen
Download or read book A Servant of God: Selected Writings of Fulton J. Sheen: Volume One: Preface to Religion, The Life of Christ, and The Priest is Not His O written by Fulton J. Sheen and published by Mockingbird Press. This book was released on 2021-12-22 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This three-book volume by Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen includes Preface to Religion (1946), The Life of Christ (1958), and The Priest is Not His Own (1963). These three works seek to educate both the new follower of Christ and the lifelong devotee on their place in the world and their responsibilities to God and their fellow human beings. Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen (b. 1895 - d. 1979) was a Catholic priest, writer, and presenter of several radio and television programs throughout the mid-20th century. This highly educated man of faith held two bachelor's degrees, a master's degree, a PhD in philosophy, and a Doctor of Sacred Theology. With such a thorough background in faith and philosophy, Archbishop Sheen was uniquely qualified to be an educator, both in universities and to the general public. To this end, he spent many years teaching at the Catholic University of America. He also shared what he'd learned with millions of Americans through his radio program, The Catholic Hour, and later through the popular television program, Life is Worth Living. He also wrote prolifically, sharing many books and articles with the world. Three of those books are included in this collection. Preface to Religion could be considered an introductory work, intended to guide those on the periphery of religion closer to God. The Life of Christ explores the life, temptations, Passion, death, and resurrection of Christ-the founder of the Catholic Church. And The Priest is Not His Own is a unique work for the priest or seminary student to help them be a better shepherd and closer adherent to the example set by Jesus Christ. While Preface and Priest were written for different audiences, when taken together with The Life of Christ they illustrate the depth of a life of faith. From the exploration of human nature and the causes of discontent to the responsibilities of the priest who has devoted his life to the Church, these three books help to illustrate the challenges of life as both a new convert and as a firm believer. Preface to Religion is a work of both theology and philosophy. Beginning with the reasons for man's discontent, Archbishop Sheen proves to the reader that their unhappiness and lack of fulfillment is not because of what they have in life. For no material possession, no relationship, no achievement can ever give them the satisfaction they desire. The instinct to reach for something greater proves that there is more. For, as Archbishop Sheen writes, "...would there be in you a craving for unending life, perfect truth, and ecstatic love unless Perfect Life and Truth and Love existed?" The Life of Christ is one of Archbishop Sheen's best-loved works. Without a thorough understanding of Christ's life-His birth, actions on Earth, trials and tribulations, and ultimate sacrifice-one cannot hope to emulate His example and be a true child of God. The Priest is Not His Own is written for the educated theologian who is well acquainted with scripture and the life and death of Christ. But it is unique in its call to priests to emulate Christ, not only His preaching and counseling but in his victimhood. Through a spirit of sacrifice in word and deed, the priest becomes closer to Christ and is better able to lead his flock. The work also includes guidance to help the priest better communicate with and instruct his followers. When read together by the layperson, these three books can help the reader to understand the role of both the leader and the follower, and get a clearer sense of where man and priest fit into God's greater plan.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mystical Body of Christ captures the theological precision and communicative genius of Fulton J. Sheen (1895–1979), whose radio and television broadcasts, including Life Is Worth Living, have reached millions of homes since the 1950s.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Servant of God Fulton John Sheen, (born Peter John Sheen, May 8, 1895 - December 9, 1979) was an American archbishop of the Catholic Church known for his preaching and especially his work on television and radio. His cause for canonization for sainthood was officially opened in 2002, so he is now referred to as a Servant of God.Ordained a priest of the Diocese of Peoria in 1919, Sheen quickly became a renowned theologian, earning the Cardinal Mercier Prize for International Philosophy in 1923. He went on to teach theology and philosophy as well as acting as a parish priest before being appointed Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of New York in 1951. He held this position until 1966 when he was made the Bishop of Rochester. Sheen held this position for three years before resigning and being made the Archbishop of the Titular See of Newport, Wales from 21 October 1966 to 6 October 1969.For 20 years he hosted the night-time radio program The Catholic Hour (1930-1950) before moving to television and presenting Life Is Worth Living (1951-1957). Sheen's final presenting role was on the syndicated The Fulton Sheen Program (1961-1968) with a format very similar to that of the earlier Life is Worth Living show. For this work, Sheen twice won an Emmy Award for Most Outstanding Television Personality, the only personality appearing on the DuMont Network ever to win a major Emmy award.[clarification needed] Starting in 2009, his shows were being re-broadcast on the EWTN and the Trinity Broadcasting Network's Church Channel cable networks.

Book Synopsis The Priest Is Not His Own by : Fulton Sheen
Download or read book The Priest Is Not His Own written by Fulton Sheen and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2009-09-03 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The beloved Archbishop Sheen, whose cause for canonization is open in Rome, presents a profound and deeply spiritual look at the meaning of the priesthood and relationship of the priest with Christ as an "alter Christus". Sheen delves deeply into what he considers the main character of the priesthood, and one not often discussed, that of being, like Christ, a "holy victim". To be like Christ, Sheen emphasizes that the priest must imitate Christ in His example of sacrifice, offering himself as a victim to make His Incarnation continually present in the world. "Unlike anyone else, Our Lord came on earth, not to live, but to die. Death for our redemption was the goal of His sojourn here, the gold that he was seeking. He was, therefore, not primarily a teacher, but a Savior. Was not Christ the Priest a Victim? He never offered anything except Himself. So we have a mutilated concept of our priesthood, if we envisage it apart from making ourselves victims in the prolongation of His Incarnation." —Bishop Fulton Sheen

Download or read book Go to Heaven written by Fulton J. Sheen and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2017-08-07 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why is it, asks Bishop Fulton Sheen, that one hears so often the expression "Go to hell!" and almost never the expression "Go to heaven!" Here, at his most penetrating, challenging, and illuminating best is Bishop Sheen with his answer, in a book that breathes new meaning into the truths about heaven and hell, and new life into the concepts of faith, tolerance, love, prayer, suffering, and death. Beginning with "The First Faint Summons to Heaven," Sheen shows how unpopular it is today to be a true Christian, and describes the struggle for living our faith amid the disorders of our times. Keenly aware of evil in the myriad forms it takes in today's world, Bishop Sheen writes about the constant battle man faces with the "seven pallbearers of character" - pride, avarice, envy, lust, anger, gluttony and sloth - linking them with the corrosive forces that never cease in their attacks on the Church and those who earnestly desire to be serious Christians. In Go to Heaven, a great spiritual teacher and writer, deeply aware of the human and spiritual conflicts being waged in the world, shows us the way to heaven in a most eloquent book, encouraging the reader to choose heaven now, and to understand the "reality of hell."
