How beautiful! Last night at Mass I noticed the young priest peering down at me from the altar. I wondered why he was doing this and it was only much later I understood that it was probably that I was wearing a black t shirt with the image of Our Lady upon it. Why do I wear such things? Not as a statement I think but simply as an act of love. It is like wearing medals of the Virgin or scapulars. It does affect others several strangers have stopped me to say how much they appreciate this. One woman was crying as she spoke. Everywhere Mary walks is beauty.
That's wonderful, non sum dignus. Really well done. I've listened several times and sent it on to some friends who aren't on the forum.
Archbishop Sheen had a wonderful talk called " The Woman I Love" He had a very strong devotion to Mary. Every good priest does it seems to me.
If any Catholic told me he or she was not deeply in love with Our Blessed Mother I would be deeply, deeply concerned.
There is a man on you tube who calls himself a bishop.he is not catholic he name is mari mari I think.i do not know much about him and I would always be wary of non catholic preaching but I listened to a talk he had about Mary.WOW the love and respect he had for her is amazing.
The more I learn of the Orthodox churches and the Copts, the more I realise their beliefs, customs and traditions are far less distant from the Catholic Church than are those of the Protestants.
The more I listen to Father Charron, the more I understand how little I know about the complicated relationship there is between Rome and Orthodoxy and Eastern Rites generally. In fact I understand that I understand nothing at all. Which is a good place to start.##
That video was the inspiration for the song. I am so overjoyed that He will finally be declaired a saint. So I kind of barrowed his idea... I believe he used to tell a joke...something to the effect that he had to confess that he (a Bishop) had fallen in love with a woman..... And her name is Mary. Here is that video
Bless Fulton Sheen . A purely Catholic Bishop, totally Orthodox. Someone you could totally trust. How many Bishops can you say that off today.
Absolutely. There are apparently a lot of pretend ‘Catholics’ in the Church, who are determined to suppress this true defender of the Faith. For some incomprehensible reason, his cause seems to be advancing
Fulton Sheen will officially be beatified and declared "Blessed" on September 24, 2026. When another miracle happens because of his intercession (after he is declared "Blessed") the final leg to canonization can take place.
I pray most days to now Venerable Fulton Sheen. I’m sure I’m far from alone in that. I think we won’t be long waiting for what will be a great miracle, instructive for our times. Venerable, and soon to be Blessed, Archbishop Fulton Sheen, pray for us.
