BLESSED FULTON SHEEN

 

 

        We've been waiting and praying for this.  On Thursday, September 24, 2026, Archbishop Fulton Sheen was beatified!  He is now Blessed Fulton Sheen, and there are already miracles being investigated leading to his canonization to sainthood.  Thanks be to God!

 

 

       My wife Micki and son Andrew were there, at the Dome of America's Center in St. Louis, Missouri.  They said everyone was just beaming with friendship.

 PRAYER FOR FULTON SHEEN'S CANONIZATION

 

       Heavenly Father, source of all holiness, You raise up within the Church in every age men and women who serve with heroic love and dedication. You have blessed Your Church through the life and ministry of Your faithful servant, Archbishop Fulton J Sheen. He has written and spoken well of Your Divine Son, Jesus Christ, and was a true instrument of the Holy Spirit in touching the hearts of countless people.
       If it be according to Your Will, for the honor and glory of the Most Holy Trinity and for the salvation of souls, we ask You to move the Church to proclaim him a saint. We ask this prayer through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Imprimatur: +Most Reverend Daniel R. Jenky, C.S.C., Bishop of Peoria

DOCTORS WITHOUT MORAL BORDERS

        Yesterday we got a neat, all-purpose pen in the mail.  Besides writing well, it has metric and non-metric rulers, flat-head and phillips screwdrivers, a level, and phone holder.  It came as a promotion, from Doctors Without Borders.  What a unique pen and good cause, we thought; and my wife dug out the info and envelope I had thrown away; and we planned to send them a donation.  As I sat down with the envelope, I asked, "Do they do abortions?"

       My wife Micki had not thought of that, so we soon found out that, not only do they kill babies, but that's their main activity around the world!  Although Planned Parenthood and Doctors Without Borders are separate entities, they do the same work.  The most prominent direct organizational link between them is executive leadership.  For instance, Rebekah Varela serves as the Chief Operating Officer of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, having previously served as the COO of Doctors Without Borders USA. 

       Micki is so thankful that I had come up with the question.  She had thought it was a good organization, providing real medical care to impoverished countries, etc.

       So I sealed their empty, postpaid envelope, writing on the front of it that we like the pen and were about to donate, but found that their main activity is killing babies and so not to contact us again.

       As for the pen, it's neat and we're keeping it, and wondered if we could buy more online for some of our family, rather than supporting abortion.  Swag Brokers sells them for $1.91 each.  But for just one, with no promotional imprint, the shipping is $18.35.  So it seems to be a con all the way around.

       So, if you get an all-purpose pen from Doctors Without Borders, enjoy the pen, toss the rest.  I think they should insert Moral between Without and Borders.
