Meditate Like a Saint: Fulton Sheen's Path to Prayer – Allan Smith – 07/13/2026
from The Catholic Morning Show · host Bo Bonner, Allan Smith
About the Book: The Soul of a Disciple distills Archbishop Fulton Sheen's teaching into six guided retreats — on the Holy Face of Jesus, Our Lady, the Beatitudes, the Eucharist, the Cross, and Holy Week — each designed to take just five minutes a day. Details and ordering: sophiainstitute.com Why Meditation Matters: Smith explains that Sheen's decades of daily Holy Hours shaped his preaching, writing, and media ministry, and that his call to "gaze, remain, become, love, and abide" offers a concrete framework for prayer today. Suffering & Redemption: Drawing on Sheen's teaching, Smith discusses how uniting suffering to Christ transforms it from something to eliminate into something redemptive. Sheen's Beatification: Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen will be beatified at a Mass on September 24, 2026, in St. Louis. Information and updates: celebratesheen.com About the Author: Allan Smith serves on the board of directors for the Sheen Cause and has compiled several Fulton Sheen anthologies through Sophia Institute Press. #FultonSheen #CatholicBooks #SophiaInstitutePress #CatholicMeditation #HolyHour #CatholicAuthors #CatholicRadio Credits: Produced, Edited, and Mixed by Ayden Pugh, Alexia Baker, and Brady Grimm.
