Christ Meditation

“I thirst.” (John 19:28) Meditations on the Fifth Word from the Cross by Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen For years, Archbishop Sheen gave a series of powerful presentations on Christ’s Passion and His seven last words from the Cross. As a Scripture scholar, Archbishop Sheen knew full well the power contained in preaching Christ crucified. With St. Paul, he could say, “For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified” (1 Cor. 2:2). During his last recorded Good Friday address in 1979, Archbishop Sheen spoke of having given this type of reflection on the ...

Making Our Home With God is a collection of travel meditations that pair New Testament readings with glimpses of the New Jerusalem in such diverse places as Iona, Chartres, Samburu, and Antarctica, as well as in one’s own home. Marks invites the reader on a pilgrimage that entails taking nothing—no extra coat, shoes, or bag, only an open heart and mind—on a journey home to life in Christ, where our hearts welcome others who hunger and thirst for what we may take for granted. Those new companions, who are Christ in His many faces and forms, change our lives forever. Patricia Marks, now...

There is an ancient book called Job which takes its name from the man whose story it tells. He lived in the land of Uz. He was a man of up-right life and godly character. He had a large family and was very prosperous. The home life of his family was particularly happy. His children feasted together daily and their father took pains with their religious life. The disinterestedness of Job's piety was questioned in the heavenly councils by Satan. God asked him, "Hast thou considered my servant Job? For there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and...

THE title of this tract is an Apostolic caution against false doctrine. It forms part of a warning which St. Paul addressed to Hebrew Christians. It is a caution just as much needed now as it was eighteen hundred years ago. Never, I think, was it so important for Christian ministers to cry aloud continually, “Be not carried about.” That old enemy of mankind, the devil, has no more subtle device for ruining souls than that of spreading false doctrine. “A murderer and a liar from the beginning,” he never ceases going to and fro in the earth, seeking whom he may devour. Outside the ...

BELOVED FRIENDS,— I wish to write a few words to you about your souls. I want those souls to be saved. And I invite you all to take the advice I give you today, and that is, to “consider your ways.” I write to you, because the time is short. The day of grace is slipping away,—the day of judgment is drawing near,—the thread of life is winding up,—a few more short years, and every soul of us will have gone to his own place,—we shall each of us be in heaven or hell! I cannot reach your hearts, I know well. It is not me,—it needs the finger of God. But I can set before you my ...
