Vocal prayer, meditation, and contemplation…
In vocal prayer we go to God on foot. In meditation we go to God on horseback. In contemplation we go to God in a jet.
–Blessed Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
Sinners who deny…
The deaf who deny they are deaf will never hear; the sinners who deny there is sin deny thereby the remedy of sin, and thus cut themselves off forever from Him Who came to redeem.
–Blessed Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
Tolerance and intolerance…
There is no subject on which the average mind is so much confused as the subject of tolerance and intolerance. Tolerance applies only to persons, but never to principles. Intolerance applies only to principles, but never to persons.
–Blessed Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
Every moment comes…
Every moment comes to you pregnant with a Divine Purpose; time being so precious that God deals it out only second by second. Once it leaves your hands and your person to do with as you please, it plunges into eternity, to remain forever whatever you made it.
–Blessed Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
Possess all joys…
Eternity is without succession, a simultaneous possession of all joys. To those who live toward Eternity, it really is not something at the end; it is that which influences every moment of the now.
–Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
The same mistake…
Most commit the same mistake with God that they do with their friends: they do all the talking.
–Blessed Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
