On Thursday, the beloved American Catholic evangelist and TV host Archbishop Fulton Sheen (1895-1979) became one step closer to becoming a saint. He was beatified in St. Louis Thursday afternoon, the penultimate stage in the journey toward Catholic sainthood (also known as canonization).
Sheen, who was a great theologian and philosopher in addition to his other talents, lived a life defined by unparalleled energy and deep commitment to prayer. He spent every moment working for the glory of God. He displayed this in everything from his commitment to study and the countless retreats he offered to his world travels preaching and raising money for the poor. This was a man who loved God and was motivated to proclaim His truth and goodness.
But what does it mean to say that Sheen has been “beatified”?
