Vespers held at the Cathedral of Saint Louis prepared the community for the beatification of Fulton J. Sheen.

Vatican News reported that Sheen centered his priesthood and apostolate on prayer. He spoke about Jesus in public only after spending time in private prayer before the Eucharist. From his ordination, Sheen maintained a practice of prayer before the Blessed Sacrament, which he viewed as essential to his identity as a priest and the effectiveness of his ministry.
