Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen's beatification is approaching, and the story behind it is miraculous. John-Henry Westen speaks with Al Smith, a Canadian plumber who had never heard of Sheen and became one of his most dedicated promoters. Smith discovered Sheen through his writings, brought his talks to radio and seminaries, republished his works, and eventually served with the Sheen Foundation. He highlights Sheen's Marian and Carmelite spirituality, his commitment to the Holy Hour, and his determination to bring souls to Christ.

But the most extraordinary part of the story is James Fulton Engstrom, the child whose approved healing was attributed to Sheen's intercession. The newborn showed no signs of life for 61 minutes as his family prayed for Sheen's intercession. Then his heart began beating again. He suffered no brain damage. Now 15 years old, he will process Sheen's relics at the beatification ceremony.

Sheen was not simply a celebrated Catholic broadcaster. He was a spiritual teacher whose writings, devotion to Our Lady, Eucharistic spirituality, and zeal for souls can continue forming Catholics into disciples today. The miracle paved the way. The beatification is coming. And the question is whether a new generation will discover the teacher who never stopped pointing to Christ.
