Dublin Retreat 1/16 - Opening session of the retreat for the priests of Archdiocese of Dublin by Bishop Fulton Sheen (1977)

In this opening session of the retreat for the priests of Archdiocese of Dublin led by Archbishop Fulton Sheen in 1977, he reflects on the commonality of sin among all, emphasizing our shared need for redemption. Drawing inspiration from the story of Joshua in the Old Testament, he likens priests to brands plucked from the burning, showcasing God's mercy and calling. As he delves into the lives of biblical figures like Noah, Abraham, and Moses, Archbishop Sheen underscores that God chooses individuals not for their perfection but for their potential transformation. The session concludes with a call to priests to rekindle their love for the timeless truths of the faith and to reflect on Christ's question, "Do you love me?"
