Patrick MadridHOST
So death occurs when the body and the soul separate.
Patrick MadridHOST
And I think it was Frank Sheed who said it this way.
Patrick MadridHOST
He said that when the body, either through damage or disease or some other problem, is no longer capable of responding to the life-giving energies of the soul, then it ceases to interact with the soul, and that's when death occurs.
Patrick MadridHOST
And the body, uh, which is now, um, the other half or the other part, let's say, of the human person, 'cause you're body and soul together, it can no longer function without the soul.
Bonnie Lander JohnsonGUEST
Um, so Julia and I wrote entries for her.
Piero Paolo FinaldiHOST
Who-- Frank Sheed was one of my predecessors as, as, uh-
Bonnie Lander JohnsonGUEST
Oh, yeah
Piero Paolo FinaldiHOST
...
Edmund LazzariGUEST
So I was reading just now this week, you know, in preparation for the beatification, a book on the Dumont Television Network, which is one of the, it's called the Forgotten Network.
Edmund LazzariGUEST
and at the very end of the chapter on fulton sheen's television show it said life is worth living continues in reruns on the eternal word television network uh 25 years after the death of fulton sheen and this is the only program of the dumont television network that is still on the airwaves And so when I was starting to get into my faith, that was really a beautiful, organic journey from Frank Sheed and C.S. Lewis through Chesterton to St. Thomas Aquinas, EWTN early in the mornings had some Fulton Sheen on both TV and radio.
Edmund LazzariGUEST
And I was listening to particularly his catechism series.
Edmund LazzariGUEST
That was just an amazing way to grow in my faith.
John RiccardoHOST
The highlight of Christ's life.
John RiccardoHOST
We could say the most active moment of his priesthood, as Frank Sheed writes in his brilliant work, Know Christ Jesus.
John RiccardoHOST
It was clearly the total offering of himself to the Father on the cross for our salvation.
John RiccardoHOST
In this total gift of self, Jesus took the initiative and came to us.
John RiccardoHOST
But God is not boring.
John RiccardoHOST
I think it's Frank Sheed in one of his books who says, the people who hung out with Jesus were people who were very easily bored.
John RiccardoHOST
Tax collectors, prostitutes, and sinners.
John RiccardoHOST
People who thought the answer to life was money, sex, or just living for myself until they met him.
15 MINS LATER
John RiccardoHOST
And as the divine physician, he's come to put us back together.
John RiccardoHOST
And so he sees what's truly wrong.
John RiccardoHOST
The healing happened on the cross, huh? I think it's Frank Sheed again who says, this is, I think, a really helpful thing for us to grasp ourselves, and then not only for when we're suffering, but when we go to minister to those who are suffering.
John RiccardoHOST
How many people bring communion to the homebound or to the sick? This is a really, really helpful thing to keep in mind.
John RiccardoHOST
There used to be three, then Pope Benedict wrote Jesus of Nazareth, and now there are four.
John RiccardoHOST
There are four great, not quite biographies of Jesus, but they're Lives of Christ, To Know Christ Jesus by Frank Sheed, The Life of Christ by Fulton Sheen, The Lord by Romano Guardini, and then Jesus of Nazareth by Pope Benedict, which is only volume one.
John RiccardoHOST
Hopefully volume two is coming out soon.
John RiccardoHOST
Next quick observation on the scriptures.
Thomas KollerGUEST
I mean, why do people, you know, why are books like The Life of Christ that...
Thomas KollerGUEST
Forget the Australian apologist, Frank Sheed.
Thomas KollerGUEST
Oh, Frank Sheed is a
Terry BarberHOST
great guy.

The cost that is involved, the sacrifice, the time, the energy, money, plans, and humiliations, these type of things.
speaker_3GUEST
And this brings me to something that Frank Sheed pointed out.
speaker_3GUEST
He's one of my favorite authors.
speaker_3GUEST
He writes with such clarity.
