Fulton Sheen was well-known for his habit of making a daily holy hour, no matter the time of the day. It was a permanent part of his schedule and reflected a deep love of the Holy Eucharist.
Sheen would often talk about a story of a little girl who was martyred in Communist China, reportedly dying at the hands of Communist soldiers.
He offers a version of the story in his autobiography, Treasure in Clay, that sets the scene of this heroic girl.
It is believed that this story inspired Fulton Sheen and renewed his love of Jesus in the Eucharist.
The identity of this little girl has never been known, though some now call her, "Li," or "Little Li," and various versions of the story have been spread over the years.
Regardless, it is a beautiful story and can inspire us in our belief in the Eucharist, showing us how much love this little girl had, not wanting her greatest love in life to be disrespected or discarded.
