Talk #6 of the Pray, Trust, and Don't Worry Parish Mission - May I Preach Christ and Him Crucified.
JMJ https://www.bishopsheentoday.com JMJ Author, radio host, retreat director and "Bishop Sheen Enthusiast" Al Smith gives a six-part presentation unpacking some of the wisdom contained in Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen's writings on the Cross and the Seven Last Words. Consider this a mini-retreat consisting of six unique reflections that will help you look at the cross and the seven last words Our Blessed Lord spoke from the Cross on Calvary in a new way. The sixth of theses six reflections is entitled "May I preach Christ and Him Crucified". Homework Assignment: 1) Sheen gave us two seven step programs to follow to help us. The first is: THE INCARNATION OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST HOW CHRIST LIVES IN US TODAY HOW THAT DIVINE LIFE IS LOST AND OUR FINAL END THE DUTY OF SELF DENIAL GIVING GLORY TO GOD IN THE WORLD THE EUCHARIST, THE NEED OF OUR HEART OUR BLESSED MOTHER The second is: FAITH AND BELIEF THE SPIRITUAL BATTLE PRAYER AND SACRIFICE LOOKING INTO MY SOUL ENCOURAGEMENT THE EUCHARIST THE BLESSED MOTHER 2) Using the seven last words of Christ as a study guide in your life, especially when doing an examination of conscience. 1st Word - Father, forgive them for they know not what they do. 2nd Word - Amen I say to you, this day you will be with me in paradise. 3rd Word Woman behold your son. Behold your Mother. 4th Word - My God, my God why hast thou forsaken Me. 5th Word - I thirst. 6th Word - It is finished. 7th Word - Father into your hands I commend my spirit.
