For the unbelieving husband is made holy because of his wife, and the unbelieving wife is made holy because of her husband. Thank you Fulton Sheen. We love you! 🥰
I find this so applicable ..My wife is still the MOST BEAUTIFUL HUMAN BEING on earth ..I Work to allow her space..I Love her and my children but I TRY so hard to LOVE the LORD and MARY ,MOTHER of GOD Pray for me
Francis Sullivan God has given you graces, to see her as He sees her. He always sees us as perfect because of the love of our Father for His children. He never stops hoping that we achieve our divine purpose. So it is a gift to you in your marriage. God blesses you, and may He continue to bless you through troubled waters as well as sunny warm days.
As a widower that was married for almost 19 years and what Venerable Fulton Sheen speaks in this is so real. My late wife and I experience love with all the crosses God was pleased to send us.
Wow!!! What a profound message. It’s deep wisdom to all couples in happy or unhappy marriages. This ought to be required viewing at PreCana marriage preparation. I’d even go further and suggest showing this at Retrouvaille or Marriage Encounter weekends. A must view. The ending has a surprise. Venerable Bishop Sheen is a master teacher.
Lynn do you think couples would also benefit from Leila Miller's book, Primal Loss casting huge doubts upon the prevailing notion children are resilient in the face of their parent's divorces?
Thank you for a great message from a great Pastor of Souls. In our age where our problems define us, he calls us to bear our burdens in marriage and I am sure he would be all for getting support from others who support marriage.
If only our priests and counselors would relay the words of this articulate Bishop to the struggling married(at the 17 minute point): "Why can't we realize that what a sickness is to an individual, an unhappy marriage may be to a couple; A trial sent by God in order to perfect them spiritually" ? Combine this with the words of adult children of divorce in the book Primal Loss, so many divorces can be prevented.
Excellent wisdom!! It's true to me living my religious vocation!! Bless Venerable Bishop Fulton Sheen. Bless the Lord for His gift in you!!! Amen!! Yes, death to lower life fòr Christ's sake.
Only Catholics are christians. However, I wiil say that there are a number of those of other faiths such as protestants that lead exemplary lives as compared to Catholics.
I am not Catholic but I am interested in Catholic teachings. Can someone please explain to me the part of the story Bishop Sheen told, where the lady prayed to God that she would receive enough sufferings to purchase the salvation of her husband? How can a person "purchase" salvation for another person? And why would suffering lead to salvation - I thought it was through faith and repentance we were saved? These are interesting ideas but I don't understand them.
Laura, I just had an email conversation with my priest about this video and it went like this: Me: I can't quite bring myself to pray the prayer she did...To receive sufficient suffering to purchase his soul...Maybe if I didn't have kids I could pray that more wholeheartedly?? Father: there are things that I don’t think we can,should, pray…God takes our prayers seriously… I never prayed for suffering…So we’re on the same page on that one Me: That's reassuring that you don't think we need to pray for suffering. I definitely pray for N's conversion a lot...But I actually pray for it not to require something super dramatic like an illness or the death of one of our children. You hear of so many conversions that only come after something really hard happens... Father: God is a good Father. Don’t be afraid. Hope that helps!
Suffering is part of christian life ......our lives are modelled very much on the life of Christ and if you understand the role if the passion if Christ for our redemption then you'll understand the role of suffering for our salvation
Christ purchased our salvation with His suffering and Death on the Cross. Look at a crucifix, as we Catholics do, and you will see the redemptive value of sufferings. We Catholics are taught that our own sufferings can assist in Christ's work of salvation when we offer them up for others or even for our own improvement. May God bless you in your search for Him.
Grace can be merited to one soul by the suffering on other. That is what all the saints have done. In many cases the Lord himself instills a desire for suffering in a soul so that he may pour out graces( repentence) on other souls.
if you have husband who abuse you emotionally and mentally and controls you, should i take it as cross to take or save myself and stay away from him? help please.
It depends. If it's severe abuse as you say, then save your self from it. You can only take so much. IDK what caused the abuse to escalate, or even begin, but you can separate from him and still pray for his deliverance. You praying for him, when the who world chooses not to, will be a testament to your holiness and possible saint hood. But seriously save yourself from living under the grief. It could get far worse such as .......death.
Mark Becker Do you really have such little faith that the Lord who blessed you with your beautiful family will not provide for ALL their needs, now and in future, even in this "post Christian" age as you say?
Hello, thank you for that, then both have to believe the most they can, I my situation I have to hold on with absolute determnation, that's right we have to love god first in any relation or love will be false in our world and not viable for heaven. Yes we have to participate to the redeem project of Jesus, even in our couple and to destroy the works of the evil even in our couple and lives with the help of Jesus as jesus did in the world when he came. Sincerly
God I pray that you restore my marriage. May your will be done!
Offer it up to God, he is the perfect planner
For the unbelieving husband is made holy because of his wife, and the unbelieving wife is made holy because of her husband.
Thank you Fulton Sheen. We love you! 🥰
13:30 “The Cross is not a roadblock on the way to happiness. It is a Ladder up which one climbs to the very Heaven of Love Itself.”
Everyone should listen to this! We have such a distorted idea of what marriage is. Thanks for sharing this.
Venerable Fulton Sheen, please pray for me and my family.

Life long marriage can be the most difficult experience one can endure on earth. What a testament to our children when we don't quit!!!
What a good man you are

Thank you so much for posting this talk, it was just what I needed right now...
One of those talks full of wisdom and insight in all vocations!
Thumbs up! Sheen has several good books related to marriage. COuples would benefit greatly from his common sense and wisdom.
Lynn do you think couples would also benefit from Leila Miller's book, Primal Loss casting huge doubts upon the prevailing notion children are resilient in the face of their parent's divorces?

Marriage comes with an AS-IS warranty. Expectations are out the widow.

@@itsnotallrainbowsandunicor1505 Some churches will teach the women to stay and die as a martyr.
@@FpeEddie2 Not true. Very not true.
The brilliance of Catholic Christian theologians, always imitated by protest-ants for their business sects, but can never equal.
It is thus a great blessing that some speak up against the "cheap gospel" in protestant churches.
