Fulton Sheen practices daily Holy Hour
Catholic Life
First source report
Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen spent one hour every day in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament, a practice he called an hour of companionship with Jesus. He began this daily devotion on the day of his priestly ordination and maintained it for more than 60 years.
According to Catholic Exchange, Sheen viewed this time as the foundation of his priesthood and the source of strength for his work as a broadcaster, author, and bishop. He maintained this schedule throughout his life, whether he was traveling, speaking to large audiences, or living in retirement. In his autobiography, Sheen offered advice on how to use prayer time to encounter Christ.
