The Fr. Mike Schmitz Catholic Podcast · Fulton Sheen Changed My Life · 10 Sep 2026 podcast

I think it's called Treasures in Clay.

It's his partial autobiography of his life.

And there was a story that he recounted that I just thought, and he said it in such a matter of fact, recounted it in such a matter of fact way, but it was so striking to me.

There was something along the lines like this.

I think he was already an archbishop and he was driving to a thing, whatever the thing was.

And he saw some children that looked like they were in distress.

And so he stopped to ask what they needed.

And what they needed was there was someone, again, I'm gonna get these details wrong because the idea remains deeply in me, but even if the specifics aren't, someone they loved or someone they were related to was in distress, whether they're physically ill, dying, need.

And so he said, okay, take me to them.

These kids led him to, I think it was the bedside of this person.

He prayed with them, probably anointed them.

Again, I got the details wrong, but the idea I have.

So the idea is this.

Wow, I have driven many times and seen people on the side of the road and I've never stopped to say, hey, how can I help?

Not never, not never, I'll say that.

Rarely have I stopped to say, how can I help?

I've got a timeframe.

Like they're expecting me at this hour.

Here are some people that I don't know who may or may not be in distress.

Let me stop to see what I can do.
