Distractions, accomplishments, and the busyness of daily life may quiet it for a time, but the desire for something lasting, true, and holy remains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArchbishop Fulton J. Sheen understood this longing and found its answer in a daily Holy Hour before the Blessed Sacrament. For more than sixty years, this hour of silent prayer became the source of his preaching, writing, and ministry, shaping one of the most influential Catholic voices of the twentieth century. Sheen believed the renewal of the Church begins not with programs or strategies, but with souls who remain close to Christ.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis devotional invites you into that same encounter through six retreats inspired by Sheen’s timeless reflections on: The Holy Face of Jesus, the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Beatitudes, the Holy Eucharist, the Cross, and Holy Week.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach reflection includes prayer, a simple spiritual practice, and a brief thought to carry into daily life. Whether used individually, with family, in a parish group, or during Holy Week, this book is designed to deepen your relationship with Christ. It also includes practical guidance for making a Holy Hour and leading group retreats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrough Sheen’s wisdom, you will discover how to encounter Christ’s healing gaze, embrace Mary’s maternal love, live the Beatitudes with renewed purpose, grow in devotion to the Eucharist, find hope and healing through the Cross, and experience the transforming power of the Resurrection. Above all, you will see that holiness is found not in extraordinary achievements but in ordinary acts offered with extraordinary love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor Archbishop Sheen, the Holy Hour was never simply a devotional practice—it was a daily meeting with Christ, the source of every grace. May these pages lead you to that same encounter and draw you ever closer to the heart of God.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAuthor: Allan Smith \/ Softcover, 241 pages \/ Printed in USA.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sophia Institute Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46498365276310,"sku":"37456","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/5720\/1046\/files\/37456_5257e886-3760-41bd-842c-33d6b62f0df3.png?v=1784832005","url":"https:\/\/catholichomeandchurch.com\/products\/the-soul-of-a-disciple-fulton-sheens-meditations-on-the-cross-the-eucharist-and-the-christian-life","provider":"Catholic Home and Church","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
