 General Description:

Great saints and spiritual directors throughout the history of the Church have recommended yearly retreats as an indispensable component of the spiritual life. Yet, how few Catholics today can manage to carve out the time to spend a weekend, or even a day, on retreat, much less the week or more recommended by Saints and Doctors of the past.

But, now you can “go on retreat” with one of the great spiritual directors of our time as you listen to this remarkable series, Going on Retreat. Fondly remembered by Catholics and non-Catholics alike, Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen was one of the best-loved and most influential preachers of the 20th century. Through his faith, vision, and charming wit, Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen touched millions of hearts and souls through radio, television, books and recordings, like this one, now on CD for the first time!

Restore Your Spirit

Digitally re-mastered on six audio CDs, Going on Retreat features eleven spiritual conferences originally delivered by Bishop Sheen to priests and seminarians in January of 1972. As you listen in your office, home, or car, these enlightening conferences will profoundly affect your soul as the beloved prelate opens wide his priestly heart. A gifted orator, theologian, and philosopher, Bishop Sheen offers colorful preaching on a variety of sensitive subjects including the nature of Christ and of the Priesthood, the remission of sin, the Holy Spirit, Our Blessed Mother, and more. The humor, intensity, and intellect of this great man of faith will refresh and restore your spirit to live the Faith with renewed zeal and conviction.

Contemporary Prophet

The cause for Fulton Sheen’s canonization was officially opened in 2002. Finally on CD after all these years, these amazing talks reveal why Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen has been named Servant of God and is considered a contemporary prophet. His ability to foresee the problems facing the Church today makes this retreat more relevant than ever. Rarely has there been a retreat master able to preach the Gospel and teach the Faith with the authority and charisma of Bishop Sheen.
