4 – The Mystery of Death

Archbishop Fulton Sheen reflects on the mystery of death. St. Therese wanted to be with her beloved. The Little Flower did not fear death; she said she knew she was going to heaven: I will not remain inactive in heaven. I will spend my heaven in doing good upon the earth. We celebrate the death date of canonized saints rather than their birth date because earthly death is not the end, but rather the beginning of eternal life. This is the fourth of eleven talks given on St. Therese the Little Flower by the great Archbishop Fulton Sheen in Ireland at a Carmelite monastery in 1973, on the occasion of the Centenary of her birth. Hear the beloved Archbishop as he speaks on the spirituality of Saint Therese of Lisieux, who was called the greatest saint of the century.
