The Nativity – Fulton Sheen Timeless Wisdom

“No room in the inn.” That infamous phrase means that Christ placed himself right in the midst of everyone who has ever felt rejected, lost or forgotten. The inn was where the popular and successful gathered, while the stable was the place for outcasts. Master teacher Fulton Sheen explains the often-overlooked depth behind the greatest story of all time: the nativity. Appropriately, this video illustrates Christ’s humble beginnings with humble wood and cardboard figures.

This video is the eleventh episode of the “Fulton Sheen Timeless Wisdom” project. The audio is part of “Christ in the Creed, Birth” from the Fulton Sheen’s lessons on the Catholic Catechism. Listen to the whole talk at www.fultonsheen.com. 

Fulton Sheen, a teacher renowned for his clear explanations and deep insight, delivered hundreds of talks between the years 1950 and 1979. The “Fulton Sheen Timeless Wisdom” project attempts to bring his words to life for the internet age, illustrating segments of these lessons for a broad audience. Thing in a Pot Productions is happy to partner with Anthony Buono of FultonSheen.com to deliver a taste of Sheen’s wisdom. You may freely download, use, copy, transmit and distribute this video as long as you attribute it to Thing in a Pot Productions, and do not alter, transform, or build upon this work.
