Daily Reflections with
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
Below, you'll discover a daily reflection, taken from this incredible bishop.

Paul says, “Know you not that as often as you eat of this bread or drink of this chalice you announce the death of the Lord until he comes.” This, then, is the communion where we begin now to live in Christ and become dead to the world. What a blessed privilege this is!
