And there's something in that that I think, oh my goodness, Lord.
Thank you for that example.
How often?
Even if I have a bunch of things to do.
Maybe even if I have nothing else to do.
Well, I see someone who might be in need and just ask the question, hi, is there anything I can do to help you in your need?
But Archbishop Fulton Sheen did that.
So one is evidence of his heroic virtue.
Another is really evidence of his prayer.
You might know this as one of the more famous things about Archbishop Sheen is that he had dedicated himself to making a holy hour every day of his priesthood.
And so he would find himself in the presence of Jesus in the tabernacle one way or another, whether that was in the middle of the night because he hadn't been able to do it yet, early in the morning before he left for a thing, or in the middle of the day.
And he traveled so much that sometimes it was a big effort.
In fact, there's a kind of famous story about him having to break into a church.
Was it through the coal chute or something like this in order to get inside or maybe to break out of it because they locked him in.
And it was one of those situations that, okay, I also have a dedication to make a holy hour every day.
But I'll tell you this.
Again, this is the difference between the saint or the soon to be beatified Fulton Sheen and someone like me.
It is a high priority for me to make a holy hour.
And yet there are times when I've given myself a pass.
There's times when I've said, well, you know, it's okay.
