Spend Your Holy Hour With Fulton Sheen Ft. Allan Smith
<p>What if the thing standing between you and a real prayer life isn't discipline, it's the fact that nobody ever made it simple? </p><p>Allan Smith, author of <em>The Soul of a Disciple: Fulton Sheen's Meditations on the Cross, the Eucharist, and the Christian Life</em>, joins Florencia for a conversation about Fulton Sheen, the Holy Face, and the very small habits that shape a soul. Allan spent years as a plumber before becoming one of the most published voices on Sheen in the world, and he brings the same practicality to prayer: baby steps work. One page. One scripture line. One honest "I'm here."</p><p><strong>In this episode:</strong></p><ul><li><p>The Holy Face devotion the saints could not stop practicing, and the 1849 Vatican miracle behind the images you've seen</p></li><li><p>A realistic framework for prayer when you work full time or have small children</p></li><li><p>The five-retreat path Allan believes Fulton Sheen would give us today</p></li><li><p>What to do when you've prayed a holy hour before and can't anymore: how to release the shame and start where you actually are</p></li><li><p>The rule that changed Florencia's prayer in college</p></li></ul><p><br></p><p>CONNECT ALLAN:</p><p><a href="https://sophiainstitute.com/product/the-soul-of-a-disciple/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Buy the Book</a></p><p><a href="https://web.cvent.com/event/9de73e76-6e4c-4d13-af4e-b98b95e55ce5/summary" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Get tickets to the Beatification</a></p><p><a href="https://www.celebratesheen.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Celebrate Sheen</a></p><p><a href="https://www.bishopsheentoday.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Bishop Sheen Today</a></p><p><br></p><p>CONNECT WITH FLORENCIA:</p><p>Ready to Go All-In On Your Glow Up? <a href="https://forms.clickup.com/90131217401/f/2ky3uezt-633/DI1XK3Y1M9VWU0KB9D" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Apply to The Made Good Method and Work With Our Team</a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/thecatholicnutritionist?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Follow on Instagram</a></p><p><a href="https://thecatholicnutritionist.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Website</a></p><p>👉Loved this episode?
