Sign of Contradiction - 5 Audio CD Set - Bishop Fulton J. Sheen

On April 8, 1977, a record crowd of over 6,000 worshippers came to St. Agnes Catholic Church in New York City to attend the Good Friday Service given by Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen. This was the very same church where, 50 years before, Sheen delivered his first three-hour Good Friday Service as a young priest. Now the church was filled to capacity, along with the school cafeteria, gymnasium and classrooms. Finally, NY Police had to shut down traffic on 43rd and 44th streets to protect the faithful who crowded the sidewalks outside the church, where loudspeakers carried the inspired words of the beloved prelate. The TV networks broadcast the Archbishop's remarks on the evening news and the enlightening event made the front page of the New York Times. This was truly Archbishop Sheen's finest hour.

At long last this historic presentation is again available to the Catholic faithful. Digitally re-mastered and combined with six more newly re-mastered talks on five CDs (or audio tapes) the powerful, soul-changing presentations on Sign of Contradiction: Good Friday and Beyond are the highest quality audio recordings of Archbishop Sheen's inspirational genius available today. But it is the message these tapes convey that makes this series essential listening for every faithful Catholic. Hearing his profound and prophetic revelations, you'll experience the drama and intensity, the winsome humor and the unshakable devotion to the truth that made Bishop Sheen the "greatest preacher of the 20th Century."

As the prayer to move the Church to proclaim Fulton Sheen a saint declares, "His clear and courageous teachings about Jesus and the truths of the Catholic Church seemed to posses a special power of the Holy Spirit that strengthened the faithful and inspired many converts to embrace the Faith." Now you and your family can enjoy this same Spirit and power as Sheen reveals with elegant simplicity the deepest meaning of every precious detail of the Passion of Our Lord. You'll feel as if you're there as this renowned Prince of the Church makes the Biblical story come alive to give you an understanding of Holy Scripture, as you have never known it before.
