@Addietewd Some time in the mid-to-late 1950s.
Fulton Sheen hear my prayer
restor to me all gifts to wear
grant me wisdom that I’ve lost
that God had granted and I’d tost
Free me from the binding chains
from sins malignant torment range
Bring to me my loving wife
free her from all harm and strife
bring to me my parents there
let them hear my silent prayer
grant my hands both industry
and humble service let it be
Bishop Sheen we love you now
and forsuth I take this vow
to serve thy sweet and loving Lord
ng gifts afford
When was this recorded?
Interesting how this progression follows the temptation of Christ in the wilderness as recorded in Luke 4:1-13. Fine teaching.
@joejoesacramento
very true!
God Bless this man. I need to learn from this and do better to resist my own temptations.
A great man of incredible intellect, patience, kindness, and gentleness. If only all priests were like Bishop Sheen. Notice how he says “sex, nothing wrong here, we are talking impulses..” Realistic, in touch, and not judgmental. Just an phenomenally wise teacher. I
Temptation….the only thing i cant resist……or….i think thats what Oscar Wilde said
If he were alive today he would be on banniNation!
This man fills me with such joy that even when i think of him and his smiling face(like in the situations he says something funny) i immidiately start to laugh. He must be a saint. Pray for his canonization.
he is a good man.
This is the kind of man that could habe been a Pope!
Glad to see this is getting more and more views
Thank you, your eminence.
God love him!!!!!!
He was very impressive and a great showman even if you don’t agree with what he taught. He was completely conservative of course.
HAHAHAHA
pairunoyd, “cursive writing is sooo stupid”?? What exactly does that have to do with one trying to get their point across when talking about ‘sin’? God is not looking at our handwritings but what’s really going on within our hearts.
Tiger Woods should watch this video.
I grew up watching Bishop Sheen; does anyone reading this know where I can buy what I cannot find on DVD; Death of God, Identity Crisis, Fatima; there are others; Yes Bishop Sheen was my inspiration; told wonderful jokes but at all times he taught, I bought what I could. of his DVDs The best!
Christianity must be tought at schools by priests and catholic teachings must prevail.
as a kid i used to think Bishop Sheen was Dracula, but now that im an adult I know this man was a wonderful man, if only he was born later so i could meet him in person. the world is lost if we forget this great man.
Wow.. If only that cutie priest were to watch this on temptation.
Fellow Christians, Our rights are being threatened like never before in the history of this nation. A hate crime bill designed to eliminate the free speech of traditional Christians has passed the House and is now in the Senate as S. 909. Anyone who is opposed to homosexual marriage will be considered a hate criminal and will be prosecuted. Please call the Senate toll free and protest this grave threat to the first amendment at 1-877-851-6437. Our Constitution is threatened like never before.
Bishop Sheen is awesome.
