Chapters 49 and 50 alone (Sheen's expansion of the Seven Last Words from the cross) are absolute gems and alone worth the price, don't miss this book."

The Priest Is Not His Own Archbishop Fulton Sheen--The beloved Archbishop Sheen, whose cause for canonization is open in Rome, presents a profound and deeply spiritual look at the meaning of the priesthood and relationship of the priest with Christ as an "alter Christus". Sheen delves deeply into what he considers the main character of the priesthood, and one not often discussed, that of being, like Christ, a "holy victim". To be like Christ, Sheen emphasizes that the priest must imitate Christ in His example of sacrifice, offering himself as a victim to make His Incarnation continually present in the world.

Victory Over Vice by Archbishop Fulton Sheen. Fulton Sheen claims that since all seven deadly sins led Christ's enemies to nail Him to the Cross, we can find in the example of His suffering and death sure means to overcome each of those sins, plus the key to understanding-and to nurturing in our soul-each corresponding value. So, for example, in these pages filled with wisdom and hope, Bishop Sheen teaches us not only how to conquer gluttony; he shows us how to satisfy our spiritual hunger. We learn not merely how to overcome pride; we discover what we must do to grow humble. From Christ's holy response to each of the sins that led to His Crucifixion, Bishop Sheen draws a lesson in how we must deal with those same sins, whether we meet them in others or in ourselves. Day after day, Christians struggle to do good, to avoid evil, and to take up with patience and with love the crosses that threaten to crush them. For those of use who still know more of sin than sanctity, Fulton Sheen's revelation of the light that vice sheds on virtue affords a way to understand virtue better, and a means to attain it.
