Bishop of Rome: His Holiness Pope Francis

Bishop of Amarillo: The Most Rev. Patrick J. Zurek, STL, DD

Archbishop Fulton Sheen was well-known during his life for his practical spiritual advice, giving the ordinary lay person tools for spiritual success.

One of the main pieces of advice that he stressed in his various writings and autobiography was a daily practice that gave him the energy he needed to have a successful day. When he was ordained a priest he resolved to spend an hour of prayer each day before the Blessed Sacrament. Sheen explains in his autobiography, A Treasure in Clay, that the idea came to him while in seminary, and he kept the resolution for the rest of his lifetime.

He then relates how it wasn’t easy and that often many sacrifices were required to make it happen.

The Holy Hour. Is it difficult? Sometimes it seemed to be hard; it might mean having to forgo a social engagement, or rise an hour earlier, but on the whole it has never been a burden, only a joy.

Not every hour of prayer was easy for Sheen, who explained

how on occasion he found himself dozing off during the time of prayer. However, he believed that a consistent commitment to an hour of prayer allowed him time to develop a deep personal relationship with Jesus.

For Sheen, the hour of prayer was an opportunity to listen attentively to God and to quiet the mind from all the various cares and troubles of the world. The time allowed him the ability to prepare himself for the coming day and approach it with a renewed vigor.

He also believed it helped preserve his vocation, keeping him from pursuing “greener pastures.”

So the Holy Hour, quite apart from all its positive spiritual benefits, kept my feet from wandering too far. Being tethered to a tabernacle, one’s rope for finding other pastures is not so long. That dim tabernacle lamp, however pale and faint, had some mysterious luminosity to darken the brightness of “bright lights.” The Holy Hour became like an oxygen tank to revive the breath of the Holy Spirit in the midst of the foul and fetid atmosphere of the world. Even when it seemed so unprofitable and lacking in spiritual inti-macy, I still had the sensation of being at least like a dog at the master’s door, ready in case he called me.

The secret to a successful day, according to Fulton Sheen

DEVOTION TO MARY (Rose to Mary Ministry)

O MOST BLESSED MOTHER, heart of love, heart of mercy, ever listening, caring, consoling; hear our prayer. As your children, we implore your intercession with Jesus your Son. Receive with understanding and compassion the petitions we place before you today, especially for

Walter Spinhirne

We are comforted in knowing your heart is ever open to those who ask for your prayer. We trust to your gentle care and intercession those whom we love, who are sick, lonely, hurting or have gone before us. Help all of us, Holy Mother to bear our burdens in this life until we may share eternal life and peace with God forever. Amen.

_______________________________________

The rose often symbolizes Mary, the Queen of Heaven. In relation to the Blessed mother it displays perfect love, form, fragrance, and color. For Mary the thorns on the rose remind us that Our Lord Jesus Christ wore a crown of thorns and gave up his blood for all humanity, as His Mother, Mary witnessed this suffering and death first hand at the foot of the cross.
