Three classic episodes of Bishop Sheen's series Life is Worth Living

Three classic episodes of Bishop Fulton Sheen's series Life is Worth Living are included in the video, His Irish Wit and Wisdom.  In the first episode, the psychology of the Irish is examined.  He talks about their fighting spirit and their imaginations and lore.  Even while he cracks a few jokes, his audience gains a greater appreciation for those that dream of leprechauns. 

In The Divine Sense of Humor, Bishop Sheen explores the humor of God.  He debunks the popular idea that puns are the lowest form of humor by stating that God himself spoke in puns.  An example he gives is when Christ names Simon "The Rock" and then later tells him that he is the rock upon which he will build his Church.  The audience learns not only about God's humor, but more about God's Word as well, in classic Sheen tradition.
