Archbishop Fulton Sheen - "You Know Not the Hour or the Day"

The fifth and final installment of Archbishop Fulton Sheen's homily given on Good Friday, 1979. For the first four installments, please see below.



"Show me your hands. Do you have scars from giving? Show me your feet. Have you gone about doing good? Show me your heart. Have you left a place for Divine love?"

Archishop Fulton Sheen - Pain: God's Megaphone

"God whispers to us in our pleasures, He speaks to us in our conscience and he shouts to us in our pain."

Part IV next.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen - 'Spectators of Pain and in Pain'

"Whenever I pass a hospital, I always think of how much wasted pain there is. Pain that is not offered up because there is no one to love. Love will not kill pain, but it certainly will suffer it. When one has no one to love, then one is apt to curse..."

When looking into your own heart, do you think you have received burdens equal to your failures? How does your sin compare to your pain?

Archbishop Fulton Sheen - 'Spectators of Indifference'

From his last homily, most fitting for the Lenten season, I offer part one recorded in 1979. Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen died months later, on December 9, 1979. There is currently a cause for his Canonization.

Place yourself at Calvary - at 'the place of the skull'. What is your role there? What are you doing? Do you look away? Do you shout out? Do you weep? Are you indifferent?
