Following the beatification of Archbishop Fulton Sheen which Deacon Tim Perry was able to attend, he shares two remarkable stories from his life. These include a powerful encounter with people suffering from Hansen's disease that changed the way Sheen treated others and the extraordinary miracle attributed to his intercession involving a newborn baby who survived against all medical expectations.
Even someone recognized for heroic virtue had moments of fear and weakness. But Fulton Sheen's example reminds us that holiness isn't about never making mistakes. It's about recognizing when we fall short, turning back to God and choosing to put others before ourselves.
Drawing on the Sunday readings, Deacon Tim reminds us that repentance is always possible, a change of heart is always possible and every one of us is called to become a saint.
We may never be officially canonized by the Church, but we all have opportunities to practice heroic virtue through everyday acts of humility, sacrifice and love.
