PRAYERS NEEDED!

Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen was a master communicator with an unforgettable voice and ability to communicate the message of Christianity to all peoples. He was a Catholic priest with a tremendous knowledge of Catholic Theology, as well as all Christian denominations and world religions. He had a way of being very likeable and welcoming to all, no matter what your beliefs were. To Catholics, he was a saint of modern times. Though not yet canonized, he is considered one of the most important Catholics that God has put on this earth in the 20th Century.
In order to be made a saint, 3 miracles must be attributed to that person's intercession. One miracle has been investigated and declared attributed to his intercession. This happened here in Peoria. We know this family and we were praying this prayer along with so many for this baby's healing. Science and Miracles: The Intercession of Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Magis Center

Mark and I will be praying to Fulton Sheen asking for his intercession for the complete healing of Mark's body. We have been blown away by all the prayers being said for us. Would you join us in this prayer every day and please share it with any and everyone you know? And for those of you who aren't Catholic, would you please just do it for me? Please continue to pray either way. We believe in the power of prayer. A holy man, Fulton Sheen, is in Heaven gazing on the face of Jesus - why not ask him to pray for Mark for us, to ask God to heal him (just like all of you are asking God for a miracle) so that God may be glorified through this miracle?

Here's the prayer:

Eternal Father, You alone grant us every blessing in Heaven and on earth, through the redemptive mission of Your Divine Son, Jesus Christ, and by the working of the Holy Spirit. If it be according to Your Will, glorify Your servant, Fulton J. Sheen, by granting the favor I now request through his prayerful intercession - for the miraculous physical and spiritual healing of Mark Buettner. I make this prayer confidently through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

A little sin or a lot of virtue?

Sometimes, it only takes a little sin to lead to greater sin. I think we have seen this played out in a grave way in the Church throughout the past months. Sin is a slippery slope; it promises a lot, but always leaves us empty and wanting.

Check out this two-minute video reflection about how small sins can have a big impact on your life, and, conversely, how prayer can change your spiritual life for the better.

Instead of giving into sin, why not intentionally work to grow in virtue? Here are three simple steps to prioritizing virtue growth in your life.

P.S. If you're a parent or grandparent, or have a little child in your life whom you love, check out this beautiful new board book, edited by CCH Communication Manager Katie Warner. Cloud of Witnesses: A Child s First Book of Saints will be your child's favorite introduction to friendship with the saints in heaven and maybe even yours, too! Filled with simple but profound lessons from well-known saints, each page provides the young child with a short, memorable quote accompanied by a beautiful illustration of the saint who spoke or wrote it. It makes a perfect little gift for All Saints Day coming November 1. It's now available at TANBooks.com and on Amazon, though we always recommend checking your local Catholic bookstore first!
