The Priest Is Not His Own

-
Story
The Priest Is Not His Own asks the Catholic priest to view himself as not only a shepherd of his flock, but as a victim, just as Christ was a victim. Unlike priests of other faiths who offered sacrifices of animals and other men to the gods, Christ offered himself as the sacrifice that would save all mankind. While Archbishop Sheen doesn’t ask the priest to sacrifice his earthly life, he does ask him to sacrifice his entire soul to Christ on the Cross in every Mass and his entire body to Christ with the breaking of bread.

Story
Fulton J. Sheen - bishop, scholar, professor, radio and television personality, and writer - spent his life sharing the Word of God with millions of Christians across the world. One of his best-known works is The Life of Christ, written in 1954. This book explores the foretelling of Christ's birth, his life, temptations, death, and resurrection. But while Sheen himself was a scholar and an academic, his recounting is both listenable and accessible to the layperson.

A perfect teacher
A great teacher and great audiobook that I found to be developmental and maturative to a young man coming of age such as myself. I found the intonations and inflections perfect and very well done. I highly recommend this book.

Prophetic Words of Fulton Sheen
Every word spoken by (Saint) Fulton Sheen was absolutely prophetic for our time. The Catholic Church has fallen away from everything that has made it so successful, and Sheen's words to priests are so incredibly on point.
I encourage all faithful Catholics, and those curious, to listen to this collection of priest retreats that Sheen did. Absolutely amazing!
