The Deep Prayer Life of Fulton Sheen
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 сер 2018
- In this behind-the-scenes commentary captured in Peoria, Illinois (where Fulton Sheen was born and raised) during the final leg of the recent "Pivotal Players" filming trip, Bishop Barron reflects on Sheen's spirituality. Despite his public profile as a highly visible and influential evangelist, not many know about Sheen's deep prayer life and advocacy for many essential spiritual exercises commonly practiced today.
As child my mother and I watched Bishop Fulton Sheen. We were not Catholics. I am now a convert . In retirement, I have a Ministry -Grief Support Group. The mustard seed was planted in me from Bishop Sheen.
He was a great teacher
What a beautiful testimony.
❤
❤️❤️❤️
I'm thankful to remember this Saint. My grandparents came to Rochester NY,from Ireland. Brought up strictly Irish Catholic. My uncle was a priest,along with many other things. Our family loved this man of cloth. I still look to him for guidance 🙏☘️🇮🇪
I'm here in Ireland.. Hope you are well...I found Bishop Sheen a couple of years ago and I love this man... hopefully he will be made a saint soon . Thank God for all of his videos.
When I was small, my mother and I used watch Bishop Sheen on tv. He always had a chalkboard to write on. Then he would walk away while talking. When he came back to the chalkboard, it had been erased. I was mystified as a child. Who erased the board? “His guardian angel” my mother would say! I loved the thought. 💕
Nice
Bishop Fulton Sheen pray for our beloved Church
Kevo A It's amazing you can reference Bible quotes and then go on to judge all priests by the sins of some men. We must pray for those who are victims, and the abusers must be held accountable for their actions but the majority of priests are good, holy men! This is not just a problem with the Catholic Church! Jesus died for all sinners, not just the little sins but the murders, the rapists, the paedophiles, the abortionists, etc. Should we be outraged at the sins, yes, absolutely...but in the end like it or not, if they are repentant they are just as entitled to the mercy of God as any one of us. If we want mercy shown to us, we must extend mercy to others.
NL John 6:53-57 Amen!
Amen
Bishop Fulton Sheen pray for us. .....
Amen
Beautiful ❤️ praise God bless His Holy Name forever 🙏 🙌 ❤️
The most ardent Protestants I have ever known always listened to Archbishop Sheen's TV and radio shows. Many of those ardent Catholics are now Catholics. Even Billy Graham called Bishop Sheen the greatest communicator of the 20th Century.
Thank you Bishop!
We NEED another venerable Fulton Sheen soon. God Bless
I would venture to say that Bishop Robert Barron is our man. God bless him!
You BE Fulton Sheen! Seriously. Go do holy hour!
@@krdiaz8026 Fulton Sheen is my great great uncle. If anyone is to follow in his footstep it would probably be me :)
We have another Fulton Sheen. His name is Bishop Robert Barron
@@Gordis57 sorry but Barron never speaks out against the Laws of God and Church that are been openly been broken .He is a people pleaser who is to close to the ones who ignore Church Laws and the Commandments
While I'm not a Roman Catholic- I, as a Born Again Christian, think Fr. Sheen was one of the truly great 20th century Christians. A real, genuine , holy, Christian man. I'd rank him along with some of the other greats- C.S. Lewis, Billy Graham, A.W. Tozer, Martyn Lloyd Jones, and a few others.
I think I was first made aware of Bishop Sheen around 2002 when I was homeless and living in a motel room. Flipping through the channels on TV I came across the local Christian channel and an episode from Bishop Sheen's TV show was on. I was absolutely captivated. He was so full of joy and conviction and brimming with the Holy Spirit.
I have since downloaded hundreds of hours of his sermons and speeches and listen to them routinely on my iPhone. I even downloaded his Catholic catechism series.
What amazes me about him is the sharpness of his mind. Even late into his life. He could speak at length about our Blessed Lord without much reliance on notes. Really quite stunning.
There's not a doubt in my mind Bishop Sheen is in heaven. As our Lord has said to him- 'Well done thou good and faithful servant'.
acrovader I know the Catholic Church isn’t looking it’s best right now, but I highly recommend that you look into visiting a Catholic Church to deepen your relationship with Christ. When you understand the Eucharist and Holy Communion as Catholics do, and come to speak with Him and be in His presence, you too will experience the relationship Bishop Sheen felt with Christ. Jesus Christ in the Eucharist is what made Bishop Sheen the man he was. It was His Presence in the Eucharist that can make a man that Holy, and nothing else.
At the least, look for a Catholic Church with Adoration and spend a Holy Hour in Jesus’s Presence as Bishop Sheen did. You will not regret it.
He was an intellectual. Had a doctorate in Philosophy. Taught in upper seminary for years.
Absolute love the man. Arch Bishop Fulton Sheen is a Saint!
Archbishop Sheen was one of the early seeds in my catholic faith. I owe him prayer and love for staying in the back of my mind. He never failed me in knowledge, holiness and kindness. I’ll always be grateful for sharing his gifts with the church
I fell asleep during adoration this past Sunday and I couldn't stop thinking "couldst thou not watch one hour" all the way home. It's nice to know the great Fulton Sheen had the same experience.
I don't intend to do it again, though.
Saint Therese (little flower), was said to say that if she fell asleep during adoration and felt bad about it, she knew that parents love their children just as much when they are sleeping as when they are awake - I also think that this is a good thing to remember, although we would rather stay awake. The words that I have said about Therese are just by my memory and I am sure that she said it differently than what I have said. .
I have similar experiences when I pray te whole rosary when it’s too late at night
Someone said a doctor sometimes puts the patient to sleep in order to heal him/her.
Read Psalm 127, verse 2. Rest in the Lord! Think how many of the saints received messages in their sleep.
I have fallen asleep at Adoration not because it was boring...but because it was so nice, and cozy and comfy with our Lord. I felt like I was being cared for.
Such an amazing man. I really look up to him. He's part of the reason I came back to the Church.
Glad to see this, always will love Sheen.
Such an inspiring spiritual practice, I'm starting out with 20 minutes and work my way up to one hour. I enjoy watching Bishop Sheen's programs on UA-cam. I've learned a lot. Thanks to everyone including Bishop Barron who bring these videos to us.
Barbara Rey Baby steps are always good, I remember when 15 minutes felt the longest time! Be consistent and you’ll get to the hour pretty quickly, God bless you and our Lady keep you!
Thank you for your encouragement. God bless you.
God bless you in your journey!!
Bishop Fulton Sheen was a beautiful gift to all of us..and to the church! Bishop Sheen, Pray for us!
I was baptized at the Cathedral of St Mary in peoria 2 years ago at the Easter Vigil. It was amazing and im blown away i hadnt seen this until now!
We need another Fulton Sheen
I'm so grateful to Fulton Sheen who I discovered on EWTN.
Archbishop Sheen taught by prayer more than books. I remember @ the end of his life St. Thomas Aquinas remarked that all he had written was like straw. We need that straw to burn in our hearts even though we might not even be worthy to receive the scraps from the Master's table.
I love Bishop Sheen. He and St Agustin are my favorite Bishops.
I believe these times are calling for the Devotion to the Blessed Sacrament.
Childhood priest lectures on black and white television... thank you Bishop Sheen, bishop Barron, cast and crew of Word on Fire... Mabuhay
I am a longtime resident of the Peoria Diocese, and I LOVE our Cathedral, especially after recent renovations. I look forward to seeing the full episode on Venerable Fulton J Sheen!
Is the body and tomb of MV Bishop Sheen inside the Church there in Peoria where he is from? Is there a Chapel inside dedicated to him?
Did he preach in that Church?
Prayers and study...thank you Lord for always inspiring many of us Catholics to have a intimate relationship with you.
I enjoy the stories to help myself, thank you Bishop Barron
I wish Bishop Fulton Sheen was alive to thank him for his works iam average person but he save my life God bless him
You can pray to him. He's in heaven and will hear your thanks.
I’m from Bardstown Kentucky, the area where bishop Spalding was from! His great-great-great nephew was my associate pastor as a child and is now bishop of Nashville! This connectivity of the Catholic Church is amazing!
Thank you Bishop Barron. I've always been very fond of Bishop Fulton Sheen and I love this video.
Thank goodness for the livestreaming now available to those like me who are incapable of going to a church for holy hour before the Blessed Sacrament. I like it a lot. And yes, it is my favourite spot for writing, reading and praying.
Czarina Baron Marquess I agree with you! I am disabled now and cannot go out as much but I was fortunate enough when I was working to be next to a church where I could go almost every day. I do miss being in Church with the Lord ..while I know He is with me here I know you understand it's different in Church. I am still so grateful for online adoration, daily Mass, the Rosary, the Divine Mercy Chaplet, even on line streams of Lourdes, Fatima, Guadaloupe and Knock. Makes me feel part of it all. Thank you, Bishop Barron for your Word on Fire, Catholicism, and looking forward to Pivotal Players..you are so in my prayers!
Venerable Fulton Sheen my inspiration as a sinner in need of repentance
I alwaysed love Rev Fulton Sheen but after hearing Bishop Barrons inspiring talk about Fulton Sheen I feel closer to him and love him more. I pray often that someday he will be a Saint❤️🙏🙏🙏
You are doing great work bishop Barron. You seem though as a drop of water in a glass of wine...
A beautiful Church.
Thanks for the encouragement!
How much of Holy Catholic Church and Her Mystical Body would stay hidden if not for you, The Great Bishop Barron.
A great heretic maybe...
Taras Bulba why
@@anthonykhoury3975 he has said, among other things ( or cleverly suggested) that everyone goes to heaven, motivating his affirmation by quoting Von Balthazar and Origin , both declared heretics. If that is so then what is the point of even having a Church . This is a false doctrine very prevalent amongst the modernist crowd, he is very charismatic and clever, but not faithful to the Church.
@@anthonykhoury3975 PS : I don't care generally about other people believes, anybody's conviction is their business but I sincerely dislike hypocrisy . And in my opinion he is a big hypocrite and a deceiver.
Taras Bulba he’s so intelligent it’s a shame
Beautiful Bishop. Thank you and God bless you.
I love it! I was supposed to hear this now. Thank you!
The only way to start your Sunday before Mass. Thank you for this inspiration.
Such a beautiful, holy, and moving cathedral, one that nurtured a bishop who would move and call so many to holiness through TV and media. I know you are humble, Bishop Barron. But know that you are a good follower of Fulton Sheen's work!
Beautiful, thank you! 🙏
Thanks a lot bishop for sharing with us the life of great bishop Fulton j sheen may everliving God bless you.
Very much Blessed with Fulton sheen " life worth living"
This is awesome!
Wonderful teaching by Bishop Baron
Thanks bishop Barron.
"It is impossible for me to explain how helpful the Holy Hour has been in preserving my vocation. Scripture gives considerable evidence to prove that a priest begins to fail his priesthood when he fails in his love of the Eucharist. Too often it is assumed that Judas fell because he loved money. Avarice is very rarely the beginning of the lapse and the fall of the ambassador. The history of the Church proves there are many with money who stayed in it. The beginning of the fall of Judas and the end of Judas both revolved around the Eucharist. The first mention that Our Lord knew who it was who would betray him is at the end of the sixth chapter of John, which is the announcement of the Eucharist. The fall of Judas came the night Our Lord gave the Eucharist, the night of the Last Supper." from A Treasure in Clay, the Autobiography of Archbishop Sheen
@@opencurtin +Well yes, but they also have to do good works, that is serve the people in their parish well. Work and prayer go together. If they just work and work without praying, they might think they do everything all on their own, by their own strength and intelligence, or worse, do things incorrectly, or worst, fall into grave sin. When they pray then they always remember God, their prayers can strengthen them and they can do much more good because they're always close to God. Their prayer life would be like a phone battery in good condition.
If you were referring to what Archbishop Sheen said, well he was talking about Holy Hour which refers to an hour of Eucharistic adoration or adoration of the Blessed Sacrament (the consecrated host) which is the real presence of Jesus. He said spending time in the real presence of Jesus for an hour everyday helped preserve his vocation as a priest, that is he remained a faithful to God and his ministry as priest. Or, as many would say, he was a saintly priest, bishop, archbishop.
Thank you editors and the bishop, it`s so high in quality, great job
I love your devotion to spreading the Love of God. Thank you and please continue. May God continue to bless you. Please pray for us in the carolinas
The ceiling of that cathedral is breathtaking.
This year 2018 I absolutely amazed with his holiness...love for the poor, 1hr holy adoration daily, BRILLIANCE of his minds ...great teacher with simple words...I at times pray & asks his assistance in my study. Hope he becomes a SAINT soon. Praise GOD for ARCHBISHOP FULTON SHEEN.
Thank you.
AMEN !!!
Thank you Bishop Robert Barron! God greatly bless you!
Barron is a heretic , check out his video about hell. He is smart I give him that, but he's definitely not Catholic... maybe in name only.
sally ann he's helping many return to the faith. Gives me hope.
You are my Aquinas
Salve Salve from Brasil.
My dying Mother way back was given the Book The life of Christ by Fulton Sheen one which I
treasured and gave to those who did not believe.
My dear sister Bette--------the ministry you have chosen is truly a SPECIAL ministry...........I too am a Grief Minister for 30 yrs. Have preformed many,many vigils (rosary) and grave side services. To this day when I am finished doing this........I walk away feeling 10 feet tall knowing. I know now what it is ment to be a Christian. We are the future Church Ministers..............Ave Atque Vale..............Sister Bette............
Priests in the Churches I went to, not only did nothing about people they knew were coming into the Church just to harass me, but they encouraged and helped them at it. Now I have not set foot in a Church in 7months.
I hope Bishop Barron becomes as courageous as the Venerable Archbishop Fulton Sheen.
The common sense And wisdom of b sheen, in time he will out shine john 23rd and john paul the second!
This man deserves to be canonized
But at this we need a miracle.
Arc Bishop Fulton Sheen was a brilliant MAN and preacher who could explain from His experience how the Holy Spirit can come into your life .Nobody could preach the Bible like Him in his Generation .He new the Church would be destroyed from within .In heaven he is watching his Church been destroyed by the Filth that has been allowed into the Clergy .I don’t think he would have ever thought it would not be safe for Gods Children to be safe in the Catholic Church or that we would have clergy preaching the act of homosexuality
and been supported by Cardinals and Bishops .That the Ten Commandments are not been supported by the Hierarchy or that Catholic priests are been sent off to Nazi reprogramming classes because they teach the word of God.Pulling down statues of saints and the Best a Bishop can say it’s up to the Parishioners to sort it out .What would he say about the Church’s been closed.Bishop Fulton Sheen would say if he seen a Catholic politican openly supporting Abortion he would warm him and tell him he would be excommunicated if he kept doing it .Can you imagine in his day been asked to preach to hundreds in a non Catholic Church .He was the greatest
Amen🙏
I love Bishop Sheen. Can someone tell me the song that plays at the beginning of this video?
Please work for unity and purification of Catholic church. From India
Amen
In Webster, SD, my Grandparents managed to ask for Bishop Fulton Sheen to get on to PBS. Don't ask me how they did it. Probably had something to do with Lawrence Welk. Which is pretty devout, if you ask me.
One saint discussing another
You me mention Fulton Sheen. I just watched the firing line with William F. Buckley, a crazy level of intellectual involvement and intellectual discussion.
And of course Sheen loved Chesterton and quoted him often.
Put the legend, please!
What was the music at the beginning folks?
Cardinal Dolan are you listening? Give Sheen back to Peoria!!!!
Can we please start opening parishes up during the day and evenings? I would love to go in for adoration but my parish is locked when I get off work. 😭
That's so sad
My parish only has adoration 1 day a month and i have yet been able to go...:(
Sometimes you can find one with 24/7 adoration if you're lucky
What is the wonderful song at the start of this video?
jonah kane Steve Krout Scott Holems. Epic Cinematic. We used it also for one of our “adventure and faith” trailers: ua-cam.com/video/STp37GPhCFo/v-deo.html
I attend holy hour but after the holy hour i just stay silent and fall asleep is that ok?
My mom loved him. My siblings called him “Mom’s Boy “
I’m happy bishop Barron is a fan of AB sheen. I’m only in my 40s but we watched him on tv via ewtn in the 90s. And loved him. But very disappointed with our current heirarchy and the usual suspects ( Dolan and a few others) in the way of sheens path to sainthood. So sad what pope Francis and the United States bishops are doing to our country & world.And now with archbishop sheen halt to sainthood -I guess doesn’t matter for sheen because is in heaven & he is with the lord.
My priest just gave me one of his books on marriage.
Im a nobody. But ive always felt the same. I just want to be in church.
Time to upgrade him to "Blessed" level.
Love the video.
Where can I find the music that plays during the outro?

Why do you put your cross under the left side of your jacket during these videos?
Prayer: just do it
Disgusting what is happening in Europe atm, we need a muscular Christianity here. More inspirational figures for the youth today preaching the Gospel and teaching them values.
where is your cross?
It is interesting that we need to be reminded about prayer…shouldn’t one hour a day dedicated only to God be a standard? It is just so not easy, there are always million responsibilities and things to do. So, I guess, yes, we need to be reminded, as this is a real effort on a daily basis….
One hour in Adoration of Our Lord in the presence of the Holy Eucharist
The Church needs to declare Fulton Sheen a saint. Hes a Holy man…. It is past time.
I'm not being trying to be awkward here but Bishop Barron should refer to Bishop Sheen as Bishop Sheen and not Sheen and one day soon hopefully it will be Saint Bishop Sheen.
He recommended 1 hour for religious,and 15min for lay people.
He recommended that all of us sit in Adoration before the Blessed Sacrament one hour daily.
X
Fulton Sheen true man of GOD who teach us how to be faithful Catholics, unlike Robert "woke culturist" Barron.
haha priests you'll become a social worker :))))))))
Not one priest, bishop, cardinal or pope will go to bed hungry or without shelter this night.
Talk about the elephant in the room.
Your excellency, why don't you speak up against the wicked bishops that are trying stop the canonisation of Fulton Sheen?
Sheen, a SAINT & he’s what a Prince of the Church should be. Trust me, Sheen in heaven, is ASHAMED of Barron & his kind!
So kind of you, friend.
Yes he is
I knew nothing of Fr Sheen until recently, but initial impressions are he was a right-wing nut job. May have this totally wrong of course, so opinions are invited.
I'd encourage you to listen to some of his talks about Jesus Christ and the Gospels. There are a lot of talks of his from the 50s that had a lot of political implications with the time period, but I tell you his captivating words and wit God used in a profound way in my life to bring me to a greater love of God and neighbor.
He was a man of intellect and prayer. He was a holy man.
How Dare You, Gaygolio Troll. You are no Bishop Sheen. Bishop Sheen was a True Traditionalist, and a Catholic. You are a Wolf in Bishop's Clothing.. Stop Confusing Catholics, like Your Master Pachapapa..
