I started reading “Treasure in Clay” – Sheen’s autobiography.
Archbishop Sheen writes at the end of chapter 5:

“… I beg Him every day to keep me strong physically and alert mentally in order to preach His Gospel and proclaim His Cross and Resurrection. I am so happy doing this that I sometimes feel that when I come to the Good Lord in Heaven, I will take a few days’ rest and then ask Him to allow me to come back again to this earth to do some more work.”

Clearly evangelism is the work Archbishop Sheen wants to do as a Saint. In Fulton Sheen’s daily “Holy Hour”, God was his strength. Since Fulton Sheen is now eternally in His Presence, He is stronger than ever.

“Of all the pulpits from which human voice is ever sent forth, there is none from which it reaches so far as from the grave.” – John Ruskin, The Seven Lamps of Architecture, 1849
