Fulton J. SheenCritiques

Most people are still actively searching for true and lasting happiness, but are looking in the wrong places. It's easy to be misled into believing that happiness is found in money, rank, or renown. While these things are not inherently bad, and can in fact be used to do much good, they will, in the final analysis, not bring a happiness that endures.

Once we realize that nothing less than a complete union with God will satisfy our souls, we will not let transitory things distract or disappoint us. This is because then, according to Fulton Sheen, you put no more hope in things than they can bear. You cease looking for first-rate joys where there are only tenth-rate pleasures.

In addition to addressing the topic of joy vs. pleasure in Finding True Happiness, Fulton Sheen also helps us gain the right perspective on things such as loneliness and the secret of sanctity. This brings us to our ultimate purpose, which is found in God alone. Only by losing oneself in God, will we find our true selves—and true happiness along with it.

“The Wisdom of Fulton Sheen” is a collection of writings and sayings for each day of ther year from one of the first televangelists. I read it as suggested, an entry a day over the year. Some focus on God, “I wonder maybe if our Lord does not suffer more from our indifference, than he did from the crucifixion”. Others call us to introspection, “When our conscience bothers us, whether we admit it or not, we often try to justify it by correcting others or by finding fault in them.”

My favorite is a comment on our society, that, in my opinion, still rings true today. “America, it is said, is suffering from intolerance-it is not. It is suffering from tolerance. Tolerance of right and wrong, truth and error, virtue and evil, Christ and chaos. Our country is not nearly so overrun with the bigoted as it is overrun with the broadminded.”

Tolle Lege, pick up and read. Whether at one setting or throughout the year, savor the gems of wisdom from Venerable Servant of God Fulton J. Sheen.

This classic work from the pen of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen brings together Christ's Sermon on the Mount with his Seven Last Words. From the Mount of the Beatitudes to the Hill of Calvary, Our Lord's public ministry and statements centered on the themes of love and forgiveness, which are explored here with Archbishop Sheen's characteristic insight and passion.

El renombre del obispo Fulton J. Sheen es merecidamente mundial. Popularmente se le conoció por «el obispo de la televisión».

Sobre todo en libros como éste, cada una de cuyas páginas es una aportación valiosa al noble propósito de infundir en las mentes humanas la verdad incontrovertible de que el único camino de la felicidad es el que pueda llevarnos hasta Dios.
