Beautiful Christmas meditation

Beautiful Christmas meditation by Bishop Fulton sheen. However, the music in the background was highly distracting and way too loud, even to the point that I could not make out what bishop sheen was saying in some parts.

Beautifully put together.

What a lovely book to listen to during Advent. Lots of great reflections with Venerable Fulton Sheen himself as the narrator. The musical accompaniments, as well, are tasteful and beautiful. This tiny book is a gem.

Insightful & profound

This is a wonderful way to fall more in love with Jesus, especially during the Advent and Christmas seasons. I could listen, pause, and meditate on the words and insights from Scripture and Fulton Sheen all day! :) Thanks be to God!

Always new

Fulton Sheen offers New perspectives on the divinity and humanity of Christ. Sometimes I wish he was still alive. Would love to hear what he would have said in our times.
