"The phrase that sanctifies any moment is 'Thy will be done.' . . . The word cuts across all the guide ropes that attach us to the familiar, narrow things we know; it unfurls all our sails to the possibilities of the moment and it carries one along to whatever port God wills," writes Fulton J. Sheen. This reissue of a classic written more than 40 years ago demonstrates the durability of his vision.
Sheen (1895-1979), a television personality and theologian, examines the shriveled up qualities of the egocentric life where selfishness holds sway. He reminds us to be on the lookout for revelations, symbols, and reminders of God, observing "every moment brings us more treasures than we can gather." Whether talking about prayer, self-discipline, or grace, Sheen shows how God is constantly acting on our souls, taking us to new levels of meaning and insight.
