Words of Inspiration: July 8, 2006


Archbishop Fulton Sheen -

"It has been my lot to spend much time with men who have suffered in prisons, death marches, Siberia, concentration camps and other forms of Communist tortures. But I have never known any one of them who ever said a harsh word against his persecutors. Like some trees which bathe with perfume the ax which cuts them, they had nothing but pardon for those who did them violence. They hated Communism, but they loved the Communists."

Ely,

I started listening to him just this year. He is very popular. I listen to him on Relevant Radio and EWTN. He was so inspirational and intelligent. Fulton Sheen is currently on the road to canonization.

My mom is a great devotee of Bishop Sheen. She used to watch him on tv.
