“He was without a heartbeat for sixty-one minutes—a little over an hour. I believe with my whole heart that Fulton Sheen was walking with us through it. I believe he was making a Holy Hour.” Bonnie Engstrom tells the story of her son’s miraculous healing through the intercession of Archbishop Fulton Sheen.

Friends, it was one of the signal privileges of my life to preach the homily on the vigil of Archbishop Fulton Sheen’s beatification. I reflected on his life through the three paths of friendship with Jesus Christ that we see embodied in him: the breakthrough of grace, the knowledge that one is a sinner, and the path of mission. As we prepare to celebrate his beatification later this afternoon, I invite you to watch my full homily.

One defining aspect of the Gothic cathedrals is their sacred geometry. Subtly embedded throughout the cathedrals are nods to this practice that brought harmony, proportion, and basic intelligibility. The master builders used geometry to remind us that all aspects of the cathedral are intentional. One of the most basic expressions of this geometry—numbers expressed spatially—is the use of circles and squares. The circle is absolute, eternal, returning back to itself—representing the absolute perfection of God. With its four sides, the square represents the seasons, the winds, the points on a compass—all symbolizing the created universe. In his new film, “Heaven in Stone and Glass,” Bishop Barron walks viewers through the sacred geometry, harmony, and proportion of the great Gothic cathedrals, sharing the language and reason of these sacred spaces. In theaters soon!
