“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.
