Today is the Anniversary of Venerable Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen death who died on December 9, 1979. The Homily for Sheen's Funeral Liturgy was delivered by Archbishop Edward O'Meara. Here is the ending of that homily:
"Last Sunday at 7:15 P.M. God called Archbishop Fulton Sheen to Himself by name. It was a moment known to God, and fixed by Him from all eternity, a call to perfect life and truth and love, a call to a life he will never tire of, that can never be improved, and which he can never lose. Dear Friend, Archbishop Sheen, we are all better because you were in our midst and were our friend. We trust you to the care of your 'Lovely Lady dressed in blue." We pray that Jesus has already said: I've heard My Mother speak of you." Bye now, Fulton Sheen, and God Love You Forever!"
