How to Make a Holy Hour: Learning from Fulton Sheen

Author: World Apostolate of Fatima, USA July 31, 2025 Duration: 28:40
In this follow-up episode, Barb Ernster and Katie Moran share Fulton Sheen’s simple but powerful way to make a Holy Hour. He taught that prayer is a conversation, first we speak to God, then we listen as He speaks to us. They explore how to enter into meditation, with help from saints like Teresa of Avila and Mother Teresa, and modern guidance from Fr. Timothy Gallagher. Even in spiritual dryness, like the saints experienced, God is still working.  These insights are drawn from The Holy Hour Prayer Book by Fulton Sheen, available at fultonsheentoday.com.
