The Seven Last Words, The Cross & the Beatitudes, Victory Over Vice, The Way to Happiness, and The Way to Inner Peace, eBooks, eBook Download (EPUB), A Servant of God, Volume Two, is a collection of five books of theology by Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, including: The Seven Last Words (1933); The Cross and the Beatitudes (1937); Victory Over Vice (1939); Way to Happiness (1953); Way to Inner Peace (1954).These works provide a better understanding of Jesus Christ and guidance for living a life of serenity and inner joy.Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen (b. 1895 - d. 1979) was a Catholic priest, writer, educator, and television and media personality. After becoming a priest in 1919, it wasn't long before he was sharing his views on scripture and philosophy with others. He wrote his first book in 1925, and taught philosophy at the Catholic University of America in Washington, DC from the 1920s until 1950. In 1930, he began The Catholic Hour, a widely popular Sunday night radio program. After 20 successful years, he switched mediums and began the television show Life is Worth Living in 1952. The show was a hit, and Archbishop Sheen earned an Emmy for the program in 1953.The books in this collection represent a span of 21 years of Archbishop Sheen's priestly life. Three of them share a similar theme-the examination of Christ's Seven Last Words.The Seven Last Words are the sayings of Jesus Christ upon the cross. In The Seven Last Words, Archbishop Sheen explains the content of this final sermon. Recorded in the gospels of Mark, Matthew, John, and Luke, these short yet profound phrases guide us through the death of the Savior while providing a better understanding of the depths of His Divine Love. Beginning with forgiveness for His tormentors and ending by turning His face toward His Heavenly Father, Christ's final words show His teachings in action, just as He did throughout His life.The Cross and the Beatitudes explores the Seven Last Words from another angle. In this work, Archbishop Sheen draws a parallel between the eight Beatitudes from the Sermon on the Mount and these final sayings. These Beatitudes, or blessings, offer guidance to the listener, arguing for love and humility rather than strength and pride. While there are eight beatitudes, Archbishop Sheen considers the final to be an overarching blessing that includes the seven preceding it. By connecting seven beatitudes to the Seven Last Words, he unites the beginning of Christ's spiritual teachings with their completion upon Calvary.In Victory Over Vice, he approaches the Seven Last Words in yet a different way. This work examines the seven cardinal sins through the lens of the Last Words of Christ. While these sins in others led to the crucifixion, Jesus Christ's response to them gives us a blueprint for how to face them in ourselves and in those around us.The two remaining works in this collection are general guides to a life of peace and tranquility. Way to Happiness makes the argument that inner joy comes from fulfilling our primary purpose-to overflow with "e;...Pure Life, Pure Truth and Pure Love-and that is the definition of God."e; To this end, Archbishop Sheen has provided short essays on the themes of happiness, work, love, children, youth, inner peace, giving, and man. These essays help the reader to apply Biblical principles to their everyday lives.Similarly, Way to Inner Peace explores the power of humility and virtue to bring us the tranquility that we seek. This work, in particular, has value to the religious and the secular alike. It argues that we reflect what we seek out. When we pursue comparisons with others and submerge ourselves in scandal and drama, we will always rob ourselves of life's serenity.

Preface to Religion, The Life of Christ, and The Priest is Not His Own, eBooks, eBook Download (EPUB), This three-book volume by Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen includes Preface to Religion (1946), The Life of Christ (1958), and The Priest is Not His Own (1963). These three works seek to educate both the new follower of Christ and the lifelong devotee on their place in the world and their responsibilities to God and their fellow human beings.Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen (b. 1895 - d. 1979) was a Catholic priest, writer, and presenter of several radio and television programs throughout the mid-20th century. This highly educated man of faith held two bachelor's degrees, a master's degree, a PhD in philosophy, and a Doctor of Sacred Theology. With such a thorough background in faith and philosophy, Archbishop Sheen was uniquely qualified to be an educator, both in universities and to the general public. To this end, he spent many years teaching at the Catholic University of America. He also shared what he'd learned with millions of Americans through his radio program, The Catholic Hour, and later through the popular television program, Life is Worth Living.He also wrote prolifically, sharing many books and articles with the world. Three of those books are included in this collection. Preface to Religion could be considered an introductory work, intended to guide those on the periphery of religion closer to God. The Life of Christ explores the life, temptations, Passion, death, and resurrection of Christ-the founder of the Catholic Church. And The Priest is Not His Own is a unique work for the priest or seminary student to help them be a better shepherd and closer adherent to the example set by Jesus Christ.While Preface and Priest were written for different audiences, when taken together with The Life of Christ they illustrate the depth of a life of faith. From the exploration of human nature and the causes of discontent to the responsibilities of the priest who has devoted his life to the Church, these three books help to illustrate the challenges of life as both a new convert and as a firm believer.Preface to Religion is a work of both theology and philosophy. Beginning with the reasons for man's discontent, Archbishop Sheen proves to the reader that their unhappiness and lack of fulfillment is not because of what they have in life. For no material possession, no relationship, no achievement can ever give them the satisfaction they desire. The instinct to reach for something greater proves that there is more. For, as Archbishop Sheen writes, "e;...would there be in you a craving for unending life, perfect truth, and ecstatic love unless Perfect Life and Truth and Love existed?"e;The Life of Christ is one of Archbishop Sheen's best-loved works. Without a thorough understanding of Christ's life-His birth, actions on Earth, trials and tribulations, and ultimate sacrifice-one cannot hope to emulate His example and be a true child of God.The Priest is Not His Own is written for the educated theologian who is well acquainted with scripture and the life and death of Christ. But it is unique in its call to priests to emulate Christ, not only His preaching and counseling but in his victimhood. Through a spirit of sacrifice in word and deed, the priest becomes closer to Christ and is better able to lead his flock. The work also includes guidance to help the priest better communicate with and instruct his followers.When read together by the layperson, these three books can help the reader to understand the role of both the leader and the follower, and get a clearer sense of where man and priest fit into God's greater plan.
