Philip Kosloski on Bishop Fulton Sheen and the Secret to a Successful Day

"Archbishop Fulton Sheen was well-known during his life for his practical spiritual advice, giving the ordinary lay person tools for spiritual success.

"One of the main pieces of advice that he stressed in his various writings and autobiography was a daily practice that gave him the energy he needed to have a successful day.

"When he was ordained a priest he resolved to spend an hour of prayer each day before the Blessed Sacrament. Sheen explains in his autobiography, A Treasure in Clay, that the idea came to him while in seminary, and he kept the resolution for the rest of his lifetime.

"He then relates how it wasn't easy and that often many sacrifices were required to make it happen."

In a recent commentary, writer Philip Kosloski reflected on the importance of, even if one can't pray an hour before the tabernacle of a Catholic Church, spending time each day listening to God and interceding for the world.
