Meditations with Fulton Sheen: Prayer

Sketch of Fulton Sheen by Beth Larkin

Meditate upon the profound words of Venerable Fulton Sheen, best known for his preaching and especially his work on television and radio. In this episode, we reflect upon his words on prayer. Quiet your heart and begin this video in a state of prayer. Afterwards, reflect upon the words by answering the questions below.

This reflective video can be used as an introduction to prayer within a youth group or classroom setting.

REFLECT

1. If ‘God can be met anywhere’, where in my day could I make more of an effort to pray?
2. Sometimes we make prayer a monologue, doing more talking than listening. How can I listen more in prayer? (Hint: Meet Me In the Silence)
3. What things am I praying for that God might be asking me to ‘wait’?
4. Am I letting God satisfy the weariness of my heart?
