Book excerpt: World-renowned evangelist, Emmy Award winner and New York Times best-selling author Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen presents a collection of engaging sermons, encouraging the reader to understand that the seven deadly sins can be overcome. Throughout this series of talks, Archbishop Sheen will provide some valuable insights on how to overcome the various forms of sin and vice. Using the Seven Last Words spoken by Jesus from the Cross on Calvary as a backdrop, Sheen will address matters concerning various addictions and patterns of habitual sin. He will use his inimitable writing style, with immediacy, yet conveying joy and comfort in the subject matter. These meditations on the Seven Last Words correlated to the seven deadly sins make no pretence to absoluteness. The Words are not necessarily related to the seven deadly sins but they do make convenient points of illustrations. HELP IN OVERCOMING THE SIN OF ANGER "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." HELP IN OVERCOMING THE SIN OF ENVY "This day thou shalt be with Me in Paradise." HELP IN OVERCOMING THE SIN OF LUST "Woman, behold thy son! (Son) Behold thy mother!" HELP IN OVERCOMING THE SIN OF PRIDE "My God! My God! Why hast Thou hast abandoned Me?" HELP IN OVERCOMING THE SIN OF GLUTTONY "I thirst." HELP IN OVERCOMING THE SIN OF SLOTH "It is finished." HELP IN OVERCOMING THE SIN OF COVETOUSNESS "Father, into Thy Hands, I commend My Spirit." This book has only one aim: to awaken a love for Our Lord and to give the reader an understanding of how the Seven Last Words can be used as a remedy to help one to overcome the seven deadly sins of anger, envy, lust, pride, gluttony, sloth, and covetousness. If it does that in but one soul, its publication has been justified. Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen was a man for all seasons. Over his lifetime, he spent himself for souls, transforming lives with the clear teaching of the truths of Christ and His Church through his books, his radio addresses, his lectures, his television series, and his many newspaper columns. The topics of this much-sought-after lecturer ranged from the social concerns of the day to matters of faith and morals. With an easy and personable manner, Sheen could strike up a conversation on just about any subject, making numerous friends as well as converts. During the 1930s and '40s, Fulton Sheen was the featured speaker on The Catholic Hour radio broadcast, and millions of listeners heard his radio addresses each week. His topics ranged from politics and the economy to philosophy and man's eternal pursuit of happiness. Possessing a burning zeal to dispel the myths about Our Lord and His Church, Sheen gave a series of powerful presentations on Christ's Passion and His seven last words from the Cross. As a Scripture scholar, Archbishop Sheen knew full well the power contained in preaching Christ crucified. With St. Paul, he could say, "For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified" (1 Cor. 2:2). During his last recorded Good Friday address in 1979, Archbishop Sheen spoke of having given this type of reflection on the subject of Christ's seven last words from the Cross "for the fifty-eighth consecutive time." Whether from the young priest in Peoria, Illinois, the university professor in Washington, D.C., or the bishop in New York, Sheen's messages were sure to make an indelible mark on his listeners. Given their importance and the impact they had on society, it seemed appropriate to reintroduce these reflections once again on overcoming the seven deadly sins.

Download or read book Victory over Vice written by Bishop Fulton J Sheen and published by Sophia Institute Press. This book was released on 2004-01-15 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Archbishop Fulton Sheen shows you how to win a lasting victory over vice Fulton Sheen claims that since all seven deadly sins led Christ's enemies to nail Him to the Cross, we can find in the example of His suffering and death sure means to overcome each of those sins, plus the key to understanding-and to nurturing in our own soul-each corresponding virtue. So, for example, in these pages filled with wisdom and hope, Bishop Sheen teaches us not only how to conquer our gluttony; he shows us how to satisfy our spiritual hunger. We learn not merely how to overcome pride; we discover what we must do to grow humble. From Christ's holy response to each of the seven deadly sins that led to His Crucifixion, Bishop Sheen draws a lesson in how you and I must deal with those same sins, whether we meet them in others or in ourselves. Day after day, Christians struggle to do good, to avoid evil, and to take up with patience and love the crosses that threaten to crush them. For those of us who still know more of sin than sanctity, Fulton Sheen's revelation of the light that vice sheds on virtue affords a way to understand even better, and a means to attain it. If you abide by the holy counsel of these pages, enduring virtue will soon be yours: you will have achieved your own long-sought-after victory over vice.

Using these words spoken by Jesus from the Cross on Calvary as a backdrop, Sheen will address matters concerning various addictions and patterns of habitual sin. He will use his inimitable writing style, with immediacy, yet conveying joy and comfort in the subject matter. These meditations on the Seven Last Words correlated to the seven deadly sins make no pretence to absoluteness.

This second part of this book includes more of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen's engaging sermons which will encourage the reader in the practice of the three theological virtues of faith, hope and charity along with the four cardinal virtues of prudence, temperance, justice and fortitude. Sheen will make the connection between the seven virtues and the Seven Last Words spoken by Jesus from the Cross. While these meditations by Fulton J. Sheen on the Seven Last Words correlated to the seven virtues make no pretence to absoluteness, they do make convenient points of illustrations. FOR THE VIRTUE OF FORTITUDE "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." FOR THE VIRTUE OF HOPE "This day thou shalt be with Me in Paradise." FOR THE VIRTUE OF PRUDENCE "Woman, behold thy son! (Son) Behold thy mother!." FOR THE VIRTUE OF FAITH "My God! My God! Why hast Thou hast abandoned Me?" FOR THE VIRTUE OF TEMPERANCE "I thirst." FOR THE VIRTUE OF JUSTICE "It is finished." FOR THE VIRTUE OF CHARITY "Father, into Thy Hands, I commend My Spirit." This book has one main aim and that is to awaken an appreciation of the Passion of Our Lord and to hopefully incite the reader to turn away from the seven deadly sins and to practice the virtues. If it does that in but one soul its publication has been justified.
Book Synopsis Vice and Victory by : Bill Schmalfeldt
Download or read book Vice and Victory written by Bill Schmalfeldt and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-11-01 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2007 he broke into a van, stole a debit card and tried to use it. He was caught, arrested and convicted on felony charges. Yet, somehow, by May 2012, he had "taken over" the right wing blogosphere. This book follows the true story of Ali Abdul Razaq Akbar as he blazes a trail of deception from a Fort Worth jail cell to the heights of the Conservative New Media Machine. Is it AKBAR that conservative organizations fear as they willingly throw their money at his "Vice & Victory" agency knowing it will be stolen or misspent? Is it AKBAR's political acumen (despite the fact that every election he worked for, the candidate lost) that holds the right wing blogosphere in its sway, including ardent defenders like Michelle Malkin? Or is it a rumored "connection" with Karl Rove and the underground Washington, D.C. conservative gay sex scene that keeps Akbar in his designer suits? Does Akbar's story prove the old adage, "It's not who you know, it's who you blow that counts"? With this, his 16th published title, author Bill Schmalfeldt invites you to follow the clues and come to your own conclusions in this entertaining political potboiler, made all the more amazing because it's true

Book Synopsis The Victory Season by : Robert Weintraub
Download or read book The Victory Season written by Robert Weintraub and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2013-04-02 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The triumphant story of baseball and America after World War II. In 1945 Major League Baseball had become a ghost of itself. Parks were half empty, the balls were made with fake rubber, and mediocre replacements roamed the fields, as hundreds of players, including the game's biggest stars, were serving abroad, devoted to unconditional Allied victory in World War II. But by the spring of 1946, the country was ready to heal. The war was finally over, and as America's fathers and brothers were coming home, so too were the sport's greats. Ted Williams, Stan Musial, and Joe DiMaggio returned with bats blazing, making the season a true classic that ended in a thrilling seven-game World Series between the Boston Red Sox and the St. Louis Cardinals. America also witnessed the beginning of a new era in baseball: it was a year of attendance records, the first year Yankee Stadium held night games, the last year the Green Monster wasn't green, and, most significant, Jackie Robinson's first year playing in the Brooklyn Dodgers' system. The Victory Season brings to vivid life these years of baseball and war, including the littleknown "World Series" that servicemen played in a captured Hitler Youth stadium in the fall of 1945. Robert Weintraub's extensive research and vibrant storytelling enliven the legendary season that embodies what we now think of as the game's golden era.

Book Synopsis Old Errors and New Labels by : Fulton J. Sheen
Download or read book Old Errors and New Labels written by Fulton J. Sheen and published by Saint Pauls. This book was released on 2007-08-01 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, the author wrote in 1931, is an attempt to judge contemporary ideas in the field of morals, religion, science, evolution, sociology, psychology and humanism in the light of the philosophical daylight called 'common sense.' If at times it criticizes certain views on the grounds of their unreasonableness, it does so to prepare for a view which seems more reasonable. If at other times it shows that what is wrong with a certain philosophical outlook is an emphasis on a part against the whole, it does so in order to suggest a view that is more catholic in the sense of being the whole truth. There is little sympathy in these pages for those who believe that everything modern is good, or that everything modern is bad. The remarkable -- if unsettling -- discovery is that seventy-five years later, Bishop Sheen's challenge o tired old errors still finds some of them huffing and puffing under entirely new garb.

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. With more than thirty of his works still in print, Sheen is one of the most beloved Catholic evangelists of all time. This full-length and fully developed work on the Church as an extension of the Incarnation reveals Sheen’s accessible and theologically astute teaching style in the early years of his ministry. First published in 1935, the book’s themes of the Eucharist as a source of unity for the Mystical Body of Christ—the Church—and the link between the liturgy and works of social justice were echoed in the Second Vatican Council several decades later.
