Born into a farm family in El Paso, Illinois, Fulton Sheen was ordained a priest in 1919 and later became a college professor. His dynamic lectures often drew numerous visitors in addition to his students. After filling-in on a radio program, he was asked to continue as a weekly speaker. Fulton traveled around the U.S. giving guest lectures, homilies, and retreats, all while teaching full-time and publishing numerous books. After being ordained a bishop in 1951, he launched his famous television series, “Life is Worth Living,” reaching 30 million viewers each week and eventually winning an Emmy Award in 1953! Our sock
pays homage to this program and his famed “Chalk Talk” sessions where he would begin his discussion on current issues by writing JMJ in chalk at the top of the board. This chalk JMJ graces the back calf of our sock as does his signature on the foot.

Jesus’ message to Sister (now Saint) Faustina was nothing new, but a reminder to the world of who God is, and has been, from the beginning: Love and Mercy itself! God reminds us again and again that He is a loving and merciful Father, therefore we can trust Him with our whole hearts! 

The red rays signify blood while the blue rays signify water and Baptism; Both remind us of when Jesus’ side was pierced at the crucifixion, the greatest act of love in the history of the world!

In what ways do you need to grow in trust of Jesus? Wear these socks and pray the beautiful, sometimes hard to say prayer, “Jesus, I trust in you,” as an exercise of faith!

As Christians, we celebrate Easter as God’s triumph over death. The earth sings out, “Alleluia, Alleluia Christ is risen!” With its roots in Hebrew, alleluia means “Praise the Lord.” After a season of repentance and turning our hearts back to God, we hope in the risen Christ. Christ, the Sacrificial Lamb, gave up his life for us. These Greek letters, Alpha and Omega, signify that God is the beginning and the end. The Easter Lily represents a trumpet’s proclamation of the Good News of the Resurrection. From death to life, Christ reigns.

Often depicted as a dove, the Holy Spirit is so much more than a bird! As the third person of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit personifies the never-ending love between God the Father and Jesus. When the Holy Spirit descended upon the disciples who were hiding and afraid in the Upper Room, they were given the courage and zeal to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ to the world!

Inspired by the stained glass window at the back of St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City, these socks will remind you of the heart of our Church, the Holy Trinity, and the boldness we can receive to share Jesus in our daily lives!

• Marian Monogram socks have an intertwined "A" and "M" which may remind you of Ave Maria, Latin for Hail Mary, the words of honor the angel Gabriel used to first address the Virgin at the Annunciation; The original meaning represents the Latin phrase "Auspice Maria" meaning "Under the protection of Mary"; Wear these socks and remember to call upon Mary to protect you from the attacks of the evil one and draw you closer to the Son

Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus began in the 1670s after Jesus appeared multiple times to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque in France. Jesus revealed His heart wounded and surrounded by the crown of thorns, with flames showing his suffering love for humanity. He told her that He wanted His heart to be honored by asking the faithful to make amends for any wrongdoings, to frequent Communion, and to make Holy Hours. In 1856 Pope Pius IX added the devotion to the Church calendar.

The Virgin Mother’s husband, and Jesus’ foster father, St. Joseph was a humble and gentle soul who is a great example of how to be a husband and spouse. We know little about his life other than that he was a carpenter and faithfully responded to God’s prompting, such as taking Mary as his wife even when he learned she was pregnant, and fleeing to Egypt when Jesus was a newborn to keep him and Mary safe.

Check out the carpenter's square in the pattern and the empty quotes on the bottom of this sock. St. Joseph didn't say much...well anything we know of, but we have so much to learn from him. 

Living a simple, humble life behind the walls of a cloistered Carmelite convent in France, Thérèse’s commitment to love and holiness made her a doctor of the Church.

Despite never leaving the walls of the convent, she became the patron of missionaries because she offered all of her tasks as intercession for those witnessing out in the world. Thérèse knew that she would not accomplish ‘great things’ in her life, but chose to do seemingly insignificant daily tasks with great love. This became known as “the little way.”

Add this to your collection to have one of our early socks that we like to coin, St. Thérèse of LiSHOE! With "The Little Way" written on the bottom of the sock, you'll be reminded each day to live as she did with great joy in the little things.
