Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen's Classic Meditation on the Priesthood
The Priest Is Not His Own is Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen's deeply considered meditation on the identity and sacrifice of the Catholic priest, written out of the same reflection that shaped his famed Life of Christ. Published by Bishop Sheen Today, it speaks directly to priests and seminarians, but its reflections on sacrifice and service reach readers well beyond those discerning ordained ministry.
Its meditative chapters make it well suited to personal spiritual reading, seminary formation programs, or as a thoughtful gift for a priest, deacon, or man discerning a vocation.
