THE LORD'S PRAYER AND THE SEVEN LAST WORDSDuring the 1930s and '40s, Fulton Sheen was the featured speaker on The Catholic Hour radio broadcast, and millions of listeners heard his radio addresses each week. His topics ranged from politics and the economy to philosophy and man's eternal pursuit of happiness.Possessing a burning zeal to dispel the myths about Our Lord and His Church, Sheen gave a series of powerful presentations on Christ's Passion and His seven last words from the Cross. As a Scripture scholar, Archbishop Sheen knew full well the power contained in preaching Christ crucified. With St. Paul, he could say, "For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified" (1 Cor. 2:2).During his last recorded Good Friday address in 1979, Archbishop Sheen spoke of having given this type of reflection on the subject of Christ's seven last words from the Cross "for the fifty-eighth consecutive time." Whether from the young priest in Peoria, Illinois, the university professor in Washington, D.C., or the bishop in New York, Sheen's messages were sure to make an indelible mark on his listeners.Given their importance and the impact they had on society, it seemed appropriate to reintroduce a number of these reflections from 1933 and 1935 on the Seven Last Words and The Lord's Prayer.Fulton Sheen wrote: Our Lord is the only King who ever stumbled to His throne. But that was because He is God, and God reveals His Power through the weakness of a crucifixion and His Wisdom through the foolishness of a cross.What message will the King deliver from His unkingly throne? Last words are always important but particularly the last words of Him Who gave His Life for the redemption of many It will be recalled that one day, the Apostles approached Him saying: "Lord, teach us to pray." He answered their request by giving them the perfect prayer: the Our Father. Now the time comes for Him to say His own "Our Father." As there were seven petitions in the "Our Father" He taught us, so there are seven petitions in His own last prayer. They are known as the Seven Last Words. We shall meditate conjointly on our "Our Father," and His "Our Father."Our Father Who art in heaven. / Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.Hallowed be Thy Name. / Amen, I say to thee, this day thou shalt be with me in paradise.Thy Kingdom Come. / Woman, behold thy son.Thy Will be done on earth as it is in heaven. / My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?Give us this day our daily bread. / I thirst.Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. / It is consummated.Deliver us from all evil. Amen. / Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit.The Lord's Prayer and the Seven Last Words have been referred to as "Two Bridges Connecting Heaven and Earth". In the pages that will follow, Archbishop Sheen will help us to understand this in a more deep and meaningful way.
"This Day Thou Shall Be With Me In Paradise." (Luke 23:43)Meditations on the Second Word from the Cross by Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen "The perfectly sized meditation book (5.5 x 8.5") for use at home or church." (Special 'JMJ' Edition)For years, Archbishop Sheen gave a series of powerful presentations on Christ's Passion and His seven last words from the Cross. As a Scripture scholar, Archbishop Sheen knew full well the power contained in preaching Christ crucified. With St. Paul, he could say, "For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified" (1 Cor. 2:2).During his last recorded Good Friday address in 1979, Archbishop Sheen spoke of having given this type of reflection on the subject of Christ's seven last words from the Cross "for the fifty-eighth consecutive time." Whether from the young priest in Peoria, Illinois, the university professor in Washington, D.C., or the bishop in New York, Sheen's messages were sure to make an indelible mark on his listeners.Given their importance and the impact they had on society, it seemed appropriate to bring together in this anthology some of Archbishop Sheen's meditations on the Seven Last Words Our Blessed Lord spoke from the Cross on Calvary.This anthology has been arranged to provide nine unique reflections for study and meditation on the words "This Day Thou Shall Be With Me In Paradise." (Luke 23:43)These meditations are taken from several books and articles written by Sheen between 1933 and 1945.The Seven Last Words (New York: Century, 1933)The Seven Last Words and the Our Father (Huntington, Indiana: Our Sunday Visitor 1935)Calvary and the Mass (New York: P. J. Kenedy and Sons, 1936)The Cross and the Beatitudes (New York: P. J. Kenedy and Sons, 1937)The Rainbow of Sorrow (New York: P. J. Kenedy and Sons, 1938)Victory over Vice (New York: P. J. Kenedy and Sons, 1939)The Seven Virtues (New York: P. J. Kenedy and Sons, 1940)Seven Words to the Cross (New York: P. J. Kenedy and Sons, 1944)Seven Words of Jesus and Mary (New York: P. J. Kenedy and Sons, 1945)Each meditation will offer the reader a mini-retreat on the following topics.First Meditation - A reflection on the words "This Day Thou Shalt Be With Me In paradise.".Second Meditation - A reflection on a passage from the Lord's Prayer. (Hallowed be Thy Name)Third Meditation - A reflection on a part of the Mass (The Offertory).Fourth Meditation - A reflection on one of the Beatitudes (Blessed are the Merciful).Fifth Meditation - A reflection about sorrow and unjust suffering.Sixth Meditation - A reflection addressing one of the seven deadly sins (Envy).Seventh Meditation - A reflection on the virtues (Hope).Eighth Meditation - A reflection on dealing with individuals who reject the Church and Christ's teachings (A word to Sinners).Ninth Meditation - A reflection on the unity of Jesus and Mary and the "The Secret of Sactity".Archbishop Sheen's dynamic personality combined with his brilliant mind, tireless pen, and eloquent voice has made him one of the best-known figures in the world. His radio and television appearances have been phenomenally successful and are still viewed today.
FOR GOD AND COUNTRYThe wisdom of Archbishop Sheen is still winning the day. The things he wrote and said on the radio in 1941 are coming true.The reflections contained in this work are a collection of Sheen's Catholic Hour radio addresses from 1941 that were heard by millions of listeners each week. These reflections are a series of short essays that addressed the many concerns of the listeners of his day during the war. Sheen answers questions about the following topics: ANTI-CHRISTTHE REALITY OF SINTHE MASSES AND GODLIBERAL AND REACTIONARYTHE FOUR COLUMNSTHE CROSS AND THE DOUBLE CROSSHOPE In this book were some of the most clearly delineated investigations into the underlying causes of the war combined with an entirely sound and hopeful program for winning both the war and the even more important peace are found in them. These powerful reflections can be most heartily recommended for their wise counsel, sane and penetrating analysis, and logical conclusions.Sheen writes, "There are two ways of looking at the war: one as a journalist, the other as a theologian. The journalist tells you what happens; the theologian not only why it happens, but also what matters. Our approach is from the divine point of view, first of all, because it is the only explanation which fits the facts; secondly, because the American people who have been confused by catchwords and slogans are seeking an inspiration for a total surrender of their great potentialities for sacrifice, both for God and country."Sheen is firm in his conviction that real peace cannot be declared, it must be made. It is with peace-making and the fundamental conditions on which peace must be based that this book is concerned. In its seven forceful and readable chapters, it challenges the theory of many planners today who posture that military allies are necessarily political allies; it affirms that a common hatred can make nations allies, but only a common love can make them neighbors; it denies the primacy of action over reason, in the sense that the will of the state is that which makes a state right; and it contends that utility does not establish justice, but it is justice which makes utility.With the same lucid and persuasive reasoning that has made him outstanding both as a writer and as a lecturer, Sheen continues to challenge people of goodwill to unite for the preservation of personal rights, freedom of conscience, human justice, and civilization itself - all of which are in danger in the present conflict. Here, one will recognize the urgency of Sheen's subject matter, and will find pillars of peace and promise in his far-sighted principles.

Kenedy and Sons, 1943)Here you will a collection of Sheen's Catholic Hour radio addresses that were heard by millions of listeners each week.
