Radio interview on EWTN's Fight the Good Fight show hosted by Barbara McGuigan. Together they share a few of the insights contained in the anthology of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen's writings entitited: The Cries of Jesus from the Cross. The book is available through EWTN's religious catalogue. https://www.ewtnreligiouscatalogue.com/Home+Page/BOOKS/Jesus/THE+CRIES+OF+JESUS+FROM+THE+CROSS.axd

Jim and Cheryl Manfredonia from Domestic Church Media discuss with Al Smith his latest book titled - The Great Commandment - A Fulton Sheen Anthology on Love.

 

This book is available for purchase through Sophia Institute Press at https://www.sophiainstitute.com/products/item/the-greatest-commandment

 

In today's culture, the word love is one of the most commonly misused and abused in our language. Devoid of order, misconceptions about love run rampant, steeped as we are in narcissism, secular humanism, relativism, and hedonism. Separated from God, society tragically propagates a notion of love that is, in truth, the antithesis of authentic love. 

Now more than ever we need Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen’s wisdom, wit, and logic to refute these errors. In our sightless, irrational, and deeply polarized world, his prescient words elucidate the most divisive issues of our time. Mindful that we are all children of God, Archbishop Sheen decries anti-Semitism, racism, and sexism. He also explains what real tolerance means and why anti-hate campaigns don’t work.

The Greatest Commandment is a timely reprint of Archbishop Sheen’s two seminal books Love One Another and God Love You. This anthology of his bestselling reflections also contains quotes and prayers that he compiled to foster ecumenism and societal unity. Drawing on Sacred Scripture, the writings of the saints, and philosophy, Archbishop Sheen explains:

• The meaning of love in light of the Holy Trinity
• Why God created us to love — and to be loved
• The three types of love and the nine ingredients to charity
• How Heaven is the ultimate fulfillment of our joy, desire, and love
• Why love cannot exist without truth
• How we give the greatest glory to God at Mass by uniting ourselves to Christ

A treasure to contemplate, The Greatest Commandmentexpounds upon our deep-seated need to love God and implore His mercy by developing a personal relationship with Him through Sacred Scripture and the Sacraments, especially the Holy Eucharist and Confession. God’s loving quest for our souls in turn impels us to love our neighbor. Love is a decision and requires sacrifice; it is the total gift of self for another. Our witness aids the disillusioned in finding their way to God. By cooperating with God’s Love, we will bring about the restoration of the world. 

 

Al Smith from the Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen Mission Society of Canada drops in the "Driving Home the Faith Show" and talks to Fr. Rob Jack about his latest book that contains two of Archbishop Sheen's most popular books.  

 

Archbishop Sheen's Book of Sacraments published by Sophia Institute Press contains Sheen's 1962 book "These are the Sacraments" and his 1951 book "Three to Get Married".  Just think two books into one special volume.

Al Smith joins the "Wake Up" team from Catholic Community Radio to discuss Archbishop Sheen's Book of Sacraments available through Sophia Institute Press.

https://www.sophiainstitute.com/products/item/archbishop-sheens-book-of-sacraments

 

His cause for canonization is progressing, and his videos and books are widely viewed and in persistent demand. But of all his writings, Archbishop Fulton Sheen’s most influential and practical guides, by far, were These Are the Sacraments and Three to Get Married. 

These two books are once again available in this rich single volume, along with comprehensive commentaries by the late, revered Father John Hardon—themselves a powerful tutorial in how to read the great archbishop. “We cannot begin to guard our faith unless we understand what we believe,” notes Fr. Hardon.  

Controversy was brewing and confusion sewn among Catholics by the time Sheen wrote these classics. He shies away from nothing, even while teaching traditional doctrine in appealing and unique prose. With Bishop Sheen and Father Hardon as your guides, you’ll learn:

• Why no sacrament is “more significant” than any other, though their natures differ markedly 

• How Protestantism, even at its most alluring, undermines sound doctrine

• Why the sacraments have both “power and efficacy”

• How Baptism confers “the infusion of virtues”

• How the sacramental rites in the early Church differed from now

• How Christ Himself instituted each sacrament

• The power and meaning of the tabernacle

• The Old Testament roots of the Eucharist

• How to “examine” your conscience 

• How the Last Rites expel sickness from the soul

• The twelve dimensions of the sacrament of Holy Orders

• The most critical spiritual strategies for married couples

• The difference between Christian and non-Christian marriages
