If a box is filled with salt, it cannot be filled with sand, and if our hearts are filled with hatred of our neighbor, how can God fill them with His love? We must forgive others, for on no other condition will our own sins be forgiven. It is as simple as that. There can be and there will be no mercy toward us unless we ourselves are merciful.
–Blessed Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
The real test of the Christian then is not how much he loves his friends, but how much he loves his enemies.
–Blessed Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
Never measure your generosity by what you give, but rather by what you have left.
–Blessed Fulton J. Sheen (1895-1979)
Sometimes the only way the good Lord can get into some hearts is to break them.
–Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
Live each day as you would climb a mountain. An occasional glance toward the summit keeps the goal in mind, but many beautiful scenes are to be observed from each new vantage point. So climb slowly, enjoying each passing moment; and then the view from the summit will serve a more rewarding climax for your journey.
–Blessed Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
The Christian fasts not for the sake of the body, but for the sake of the soul.
–Blessed Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
