Description

The prayer on the back reads:

Heavenly Father, source of all holiness,
You raise up within the Church in every age men and women
who serve with heroic love and dedication.
You have blessed Your Church through the life and ministry
of Your faithful servant, Archbishop Fulton J Sheen.
He has written and spoken well of Your Divine Son, Jesus Christ,
and was a true instrument of the Holy Spirit
in touching the hearts of countless people.

If it be according to Your Will,
for the honor and glory of the Most Holy Trinity
and for the salvation of souls,
we ask You to move the Church to proclaim him a saint.
We ask this prayer through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Which is the prayer for his canonization found on his website here.

The image on the front is my Fulton Sheen painting found here.

———

Born in 1895 in El Paso, IL, Fulton became a priest for the diocese of Peoria in Illinois where he served for many years and started hosting his radio show, The Catholic Hour which ran from 1930-1950. He became the Archbishop of New York the following year, and the year after that made the move to television with the show Life is Worth Living that ran for 5 years. A couple years after it ended he returned for the The Fulton Sheen Program which ran for another 7 years and earned him an Emmy for Most Outstanding Television Personality.

Clips from these shows circulate online, especially on EWTN, and if you’ve never watched them, I highly recommend you look some up. His charismatic nature and simple explanations and poignant metaphors/examples always strike me, and leave me thinking about the topic for a long time.

I chose an older image of him as my reference, particularly because of the book he was holding: a symbol of his teacherly ways.
