Fulton J. Sheen

All worry is atheism, because it is a want of trust in God.

Fulton J. Sheen

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.

Fulton J. Sheen

As a man must be born before he can begin to lead his physical life, so he must be born to lead a divine life. That birth occurs in the sacrament of baptism. To survive, he must be nourished by divine life; that is done in the sacrament of the holy eucharist.

Fulton J. Sheen

Atheism, nine times out of ten, is born from the womb of a bad conscience. Disbelief is born of sin, not of reason.

Fulton J. Sheen

Before the sin, Satan assures us that it is of no consequence; after the sin, he persuades us that it is unforgivable.

Fulton J. Sheen

Broadmindedness, when it means indifference to right and wrong, eventually ends in a hatred of what is right.

Fulton J. Sheen

Communism is the final logic of the dehumanization of man.

Fulton J. Sheen

Each of us comes into life with fists closed, set for aggressiveness and acquisition. But when we abandon life our hands are open; there is nothing on earth that we need, nothing the soul can take with it.

Fulton J. Sheen

‎Eternity is without succession, a simultaneous possession of all joys. To those who live toward eternity, it really is not something at the end; it is that which influences every moment of the now.

Fulton J. Sheen

Fasting detaches you from this world. Prayer reattaches you to the next world.
