Lent quickly approaches and many of us could still use a trusted guide for the holy season. Today we look at one beloved spiritual director, Ven. Fulton J. Sheen.

Today, Michael talks with Allan Smith about Fulton J. Sheen and how he can guide us through Lent. Allan is the is the Founder and Director of the Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen Mission Society of Canada, as well as the creator of Bishop Sheen Today. Bringing his passion and love for Archbishop Sheen, Allan explores how the writings of Archbishop Sheen can help us confront our own sins throughout Lent.
