The Christ
Product Details
By Fulton J. Sheen
Evangelization is an exclusive mission, single-minded in purpose. Its thought, as the first missionary, St. Paul the Apostle, describes it, is of nothing but bringing knowledge of “Jesus Christ, and of him as crucified.” In these thirty-two addresses, broadcast for The Catholic Hour radio program over the years 1931–1932 and 1934–1935, Fulton J. Sheen takes the page straight from St. Paul’s book, preaching Christ and him crucified and seeking to illumine souls concerning the incarnate Son of God and his Church. The same yesterday, today, and forever, Jesus Christ offers to a novelty-obsessed world the gifts of true newness, true renewal, and true refreshment, to be enjoyed in the loving, steadfast shelter of his Church.
“I have only one purpose in mind: to teach the hungry hearts and souls of our land that Christ is the life of their souls, their only solace and their only peace.” (Fulton J. Sheen)
A prime example of excellent preaching, The Christ combines addresses originally published in the volumes Manifestations of Christ (1934) and The Fullness of Christ (1935). Delivered with Sheen’s typical consummate clarity and inspirational power, The Christ shines steady light on the path toward better living of that life which is divine, a better understanding of that truth which is the Word, and a deeper love of that love which is the Spirit of God.
Fulton J. Sheen (1895–1979) was one of the most renowned Catholic priests of the twentieth century. An eminent scholar, prolific author, and natural entertainer, Sheen provided insight into the truth and beauty of the Catholic faith for millions around the world through his scores of books and countless radio and television programs. His cause for canonization was opened in 2002, and in 2012 Pope Benedict XVI declared him “Venerable.”

We love to make you smile! 😊
I've purchased several items from you folks. The quality is unbelievable and the service matches that quality. The prices are so much lower than a standard jewelry store and again the quality is way better. They are outstanding as a gift. Thank you all.
Purchased a rosary for my nephew's confirmation. I had some questions along the way and customer service was very receptive and kind... Hard to find such good customer service these days. It was very refreshing and very much appreciated!
I have ordered a few things from Catholic Shop, including medals with engraving and candles. As for the medals and engraving, super job and very well made and dear to my heart. I can not say enough about Catholic Shop, their customer service and guarantee.
