Lord, Teach Us To Pray, A Fulton Sheen Anthology

Over the course of Archbishop Fulton Sheen’s storied career, thousands approached him with a simple request: “Teach us to pray.” Now, for the first time ever, his wise teachings on prayer have been collected into a single volume to help you perfect your prayers and make them what they must become: a daily, holy habit.

First come Bishop Sheen’s insightful reflections on the Our Father and its indispensable connection to the Seven Last Words of Christ. Then Bishop Sheen unveils smoldering, oft-overlooked riches in other everyday Catholic prayers, transforming them from rote recitations into powerful moments of communion with God.

With his help, you’ll then journey through the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, learning how to bring peace to your soul and grow more receptive to God’s grace. You’ll also discover how to make your Holy Hours more efficacious and master a variety of other techniques that Bishop Sheen employed in his own fruitful quest for holiness. Best of all, you’ll immerse yourself in an incomparable collection of Fulton Sheen’s reflections on the Mass, meditations for Holy Hours, and dozens of prayers he recommends for most occasions in the Christian life.

Prayer, meditation, Holy Hours, the Mass, and even a bit of philosophy: it’s all here in this delightful anthology of the works of the saintly archbishop Fulton J. Sheen!

The Cries of Jesus from the Cross, A Fulton Sheen Anthology

For the first time ever, Archbishop Fulton Sheen’s complete writings and reflections on Christ’s last words have been compiled into this one book. Sheen shows how the seven words are, in fact, a full catechism on the spiritual life. From them, you’ll learn the secrets to living the Beatitudes, ways to avoid the deadly vices of anger, envy, lust, and pride, and how to cultivate the heavenly virtues of fortitude, prudence, justice, and charity.

Few books are such an inspiring call to sanctity, and few books are such a spiritual powerhouse. With Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen as your guide, you’ll also learn:

• Why, during His Passion, Jesus never proclaimed his innocence.
• Why Jesus appealed to His Father to forgive, but did not Himself forgive directly.
• What Jesus’ third word from the Cross says about lust.
• Why, like Jesus, the most innocent among us must suffer.
• Why darkness covered the earth after Jesus spoke his fourth word.
• The seven words spoken unto Jesus while He hung on the Cross — and what they reveal about the impact of Christ’s Passion on your soul.
• What the Passion says about judging others (and why it’s an assault against hope).
• How the conversion of the good thief is the key to the conversion of our modern world.
• Why you and I can sin a thousand times and be forgiven, and the angels who have sinned but once are eternally unforgiven.
• How envy becomes the denial of all justice and love.
• The difference between the virtue of hope and the emotion of hope.
