One of Archbishop Fulton Sheen’s best-remembered TV episodes was in Feb. 1953, when he forcefully denounced the Soviet regime of Joseph V. Stalin. Archbishop Sheen gave a dramatic reading of the burial scene from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, substituting the names of Soviet leaders Stalin, Lavrenty Beria, Georgy Malenkov, & Andrey Vyshinsky for the original Caesar, Cassius, Marc Antony, & Brutus. He concluded by saying, "Stalin must one day meet his judgment." Days later, the dictator suffered a stroke, dying on Mar. 5.

Venerable Archbishop Fulton John Sheen Novena - Day 1
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
How God will judge my life I know not, but I trust he will see me with mercy and compassion. I am only certain there will be three surprises in Heaven. First of all, I will see some people whom I never expected to see. Second, there will be a number whom I expect who will not be there. And – even relying on God’s mercy – the biggest surprise of all may be that I will be there. When the record of any human life is set down, there are three pairs of eyes who see it in a different light. 1. As I see it. 2. As others see it. 3. As God sees it.” (Archbishop Sheen)
Lord, help us to focus on You as Fulton Sheen did so that we may be humble when looking upon ourselves, so that others will see You when they look upon us, and so we can see our lives as You see us.
Prayer for Canonization, Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be
Day 2
“Protestants, Jews and Catholics have God, morality, and religion in common. In the name of God, let us - Jews, Protestants, and Catholics - do two things: 1. Realize that an attack upon one is an attack upon all, since we are all one in God; it is not tolerance we need, but charity; not forbearance but love. 2. Begin doing something about religion, and the least we can do is say our prayers; to implore God’s blessings upon the world and our country; to thank Him for his blessings; and to become illumined in the fullness of His truth. There is entirely too much talk about religion and not enough action.” (Archbishop Sheen)
Lord, Fulton Sheen reached out to people of every religion. Help us to focus on what we have in common instead of our differences.
Prayer for Canonization, Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be
