Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen: Personal Encounters With Jesus in the Eucharist

"Neither theological knowledge nor social action alone is enough to keep us in love with Christ unless both are proceeded by a personal encounter with Him. Theological insights are gained not only from between two covers of a book, but from two bent knees before an altar. The Holy Hour becomes like an oxygen tank to revive the breath of the Holy Spirit in the midst of the foul and fetid atmosphere of the world."

~ Servant of God Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen ~

Jesus, my Lord, my God, my all,

How can I love Thee as I ought?
And how revere this wond'rous gift,
So far surpassing hope or thought.
Sweet Sacrament, we Thee adore.
O make us love Thee more and more!
O make us love Thee more and more!

Had I but Mary's sinless heart,
To love Thee with, my dearest King;
O with what bursts of fervent praise,
Thy goodness, Jesus, would I sing!
Sweet Sacrament, we Thee adore.
O make us love Thee more and more!
O make us love Thee more and more!

William Faber, an English convert to Catholicism wrote this and other beautiful hymns which today can be found in both Catholic and Protestant hymnals.

~AN APPEAL FOR ONE HOUR OF EUCHARISTIC ADORATION FOR PRIESTS ~

Mary, Mother of Jesus Christ, Eternal High Priest, Mother of all priests, and our Mother, help us respond generously to the Holy Spirit's request, through the voice of His Church, to offer up to God Eucharistic adoration for priests. Amen.

In 1999, the wire services were humming with late breaking news from the Vatican. The story? Hell is real. There is a devil. And malicious powers are at work in our world - and in our everyday lives. Of course this isn't really news in the wake of September 11th, the Enron and WorldCom scandals and the shocking, faith-threatening revelations of the worst sort of sexual misconduct among the clergy of the Catholic Church. As the actions of political, business and religious leaders alike remind us of the pervasiveness of sin, the words of the Holy Father remind us that all sin has dire, perpetual, everlasting and very personal consequences. In short, there will be hell to pay.


Get Behind the Questions Even in the midst of all this confusion and corruption, we may still wonder: Why would a merciful God maintain a hell? Who's going to hell? Might hell be empty? Could I (or someone I love) really end up there? We all have a lot riding on those questions, but in order to get answers, we must get behind the questions. We need to address the mystery of sin - its causes, consequences and cure. That's precisely what best-selling Catholic author Dr. Scott Hahn did in the newly re-mastered series, Why the Hell?. Digitally produced on six CDs, you'll listen and learn what the Scriptures say about how hell began; why it continues even after Christ's triumph; how even the high angel, Lucifer, could fall into sin and drag us down with him; how Adam and Eve "dis-graced" us through Original Sin (hint: its not a myth!); and how Jesus and Mary - the New Adam and the New Eve - can lead us infallibly to heaven.

A Battle You Can't Miss On disc number one, Sex, Lies and Sacraments, you'll discover how hell has worked its way into many families and answer the question, "Is your family prepared to resist it?" Disc two, Why the Hell?, reveals the shocking things Scripture has to say about hell. Too many sell these passages short - don't miss the real meaning! The third disc, Original Sin, explores the biblical book of Genesis to discover how things in this world got so messed up. In Why the Devil?, Scott reveals what we know about the wicked angels, and explores how a good angel could go bad. Explaining why sin must be dealt with at its source, disc five The New Adam, looks to Romans chapter five to answer who can do it - and how! The final disc, The New Eve, unpacks Revelation twelve to reveal that just as Satan took on the first Eve, so God created a second Eve to wipe out "that ancient serpent." This is a battle you can't afford to miss, because the fighting is mighty close to home!
Scott Hahn's masterful explication of the mystery of sin (and what you can do about it) is a must for all Catholics who desire to be able to grasp this essential concept and also to relate it to others before its too late! The Bible has plenty to say about hell, and none of it is very pleasant. One thing is very clear: hell is too close to us for comfort. So order today and begin the lifelong work of "getting the hell out of here!"
