His radio and television broadcasts were heard or viewed by millions each week, and his many books were usually bestsellers.  <\/p>\n<p>The historic retreat on St. Therese was delivered in 1973 in Dublin, Ireland on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of her birth.  His talks examining the spirituality of the saint called the &#8220;Little Flower&#8221; became instantly popular.<\/p>\n<p>Author and EWTN host Raymond Arroyo said of the new book: \u201cThere is only one Fulton Sheen, and here he is at his best: teeming with spiritual insight, filled with drama, and oh, so practical.
