Have ever felt like you’re holding back, afraid to fully invest yourself in life’s moments?
Throughout his life, Fulton Sheen was renowned as a theologian and philosopher, but was most iconic for being a rarity in the realm of Catholic preaching. As a host on nighttime radio and television programs, “the golden-voiced Fulton J. Sheen, U.S. Catholicism’s famed proselytizer,” had weekly audiences of up to 30 million.
One of his most celebrated sermons, Wasting Your Life, comes from his only family retreat ever recorded on video. Given in the mid 1970s towards the end of his active life, he speaks to a live audience of all ages: young children, teenagers, and their parents about things that apply to everyone.
In the sermon, Sheen challenges conventional notions of success and invites us into a deeper understanding of what it means to truly live!
“Believe the incredible, and you can do the impossible.”
