I remember watching him on tv when I was a little girl. My grandmother insisted that the entire family watch and listen to Bishop Fulton J. Sheen. She was upset with the church for not elevating him to cardinal. Even then, politics prevailed.

In what way was she a poor little girl?
A courageous exemplar of faith in life, and a holy martyr in death, she did more in her life than most.

I know you weren't. I wouldn't have thought otherwise. My heart aches at the story, too. But nonetheless, it fills with thanksgiving, also, that God poured out His grace in such abundance to this saint, and that she received it with such abandon.

Mother Teresa of Calcutta says that perpetual adoration is what will renew the Church and save the world.
Mother has it right.
BTTT.
a dramatic appeal from heaven to expose the Son and come into His Light through perpetual adoration.
We need to start asking our priests if they will start Holy Hours again. On the First Friday at our Church the Blessed Sacrament is only out for adoration until 6:00 PM.
At Easter time, it was only until 12:00 midnight. I was surprised. As a child, I remember going to Holy Hours and there was a 24 hour around the clock adoration. One of the parishes here in my town has just built a chapel for perpetual adoration and it was vandalized. They now have a punch code lock to get into the chapel for an hour of adoration.
Let's see what we can do by asking our priests to prolong what is now happening by just one hour. Then in six months we can ask them to extend it another hour. Don't ask "Why?" Ask "Why not?"
Eucharistic Vigil (From the end of Mass on Friday, until 6:00am on Saturday)
Eucharistic adoration will continue through the night in the Regency Ballroom Chapel.
I wonder who attended.
Wonderful news! There is hope eternal!
