Dublin Retreat 3/16 - "Obedience: The Key to Faith and the Increase of the Holy Spirit"

In this insightful session, Archbishop Fulton Sheen explores the fundamental virtue required for priests acting in persona Christi: obedience. Contrasting the popularity of poverty and chastity with the seemingly overlooked obedience, Sheen delves into its critical role in the priestly life. Drawing parallels between the earthly father and the divine Father, he examines the suffering involved in obedience. Through the lens of Christ's life, Sheen unravels how obedience generates faith and becomes the conduit for the increase of the Holy Spirit. The priest, as an ambassador of Christ, is challenged to embrace true obedience, a key to a profound union with the divine.
