A specific context for the preaching about the cross of Christ are the sermons based on the Christ’s Seven Last Words. On many occasions, Fulton J. Sheen undertook a similar mission in his radio addresses broadcasted for over twenty years in the radio program “The Catholic Hour”. This famous preacher, not only meditated, interpreted and preached on the words of Christ, but he also deliberated on the life of the Blessed Virgin Mary, explained different parts of the Holy Mass and the meaning of the particular words of the “Our Father”. He deliberated on the virtues and the capital sins, put some new light on the blessings of Jesus, and often directed his thought-provoking meditative reflections to those listeners, who turned away from God. The article presents Sheen’s teaching that it is based on the explanation of God’s truths, an individual’s search for meaning, with emphasis on morals.
