Last week, I made a 5 day retreat at the Franciscan Monastery in DC. Canon law requires priests to make a (5 day minimum) retreat every year. Happy to follow that law! It was a fruiftul and restful time with the Word of God. My spiritual director suggested that I listen to the recordings of one of Archbishop Fulton Sheen's retreat for priests. I did and man, was I rewarded. I have listen to Fulton Sheen before, but it had been a while. He was so good as a teacher and communicator. His cause for canonization is well under way.
For those who have smart phones, I recommend getting the app, "Fultonsheen.com". It has a library of many, many Sheen talks. The whole library costs just $8.99. For GW Catholics, the Newman Center will reimburse your expense for the library. It is worth it because Archbishop Sheen is probably the best and most inspiring teacher of the Catholic faith the United States has ever seen or heard.
Here is a video of Sheen on Christmas. A Blessed Christmas to all!! Christ is born!!
