(Just wanted to share the update that was sent out to those of us who are following Abp Sheen’s Cause very closely)
Dear friends of Sheen;
As you may know, I had a the grace of accompanying Bishop Jenky to Rome for his “Ad Limina” pilgrimage to the tombs of the Apostles and to the Holy Father. It was a truly blessed time! Bishop Jenky and I did have the chance to do some important “Sheen” work while we were in Rome and I wanted to send you a quick summary right away. There was a tremendous amount of Sheen support and buzz.
The Pope: When Bishop Jenky had his chance for a private chat with the Holy Father, the POPE mentioned Sheen to JENKY (not vice-versa). The Pope was genuinely animated about Sheen and the Cause.
Congregation for Saints: Cardinal Amato, the Prefect for the Causes of the Saints, likewise was incredibly supportive of the Cause and a member of the Cardinal’s staff also encouraged us in our work to establish a Sheen study- center.
Raymond Cardinal Burke: Cardinal Burke could not have been more supportive to the Cause or to Bishop Jenky personally. We had a great meeting at the Cardinal’s office and then on the last day, the Cardinal offered Mass for us at the Tomb of St. Peter - and preached all about Sheen meeting JPII. It was great.
Cardinal Dolan and the New Evangelization: Finally, as you may know, on the day before the Consistory, the Pope called all the Cardinals and Cardinal-elects together for a Day of Reflection on the New Evangelization. Cardinal-elect Dolan gave the key-note – and he mentioned and quoted Sheen in front of the Pope and the entire College of Cardinals. I count that as a “Sheen moment.” I even had a chance to greet the new Cardinal and to visit several times with his brother Bob who helped so much with the Sheen film. What better way to start the New Evangelization than with movement in the Sheen Cause!
Thank you for your many prayers recently. As we enter into the Holy Season of Lent, let us pray for each other, for our mutual growth in holiness. May our work on behalf of the Cause of the Saints help to make each of us into SAINTS!
I pray for our benefactors in a particular way each day.
Lovely Lady, Dressed in Blue, teach us how to PRAY!
