Journey With Someone You Love
An Opportunity to Walk Together
Life Is Worth Living can become a bridge between an incarcerated person and the family waiting for them outside. If someone you love is incarcerated, you can take the same Fulton Sheen Life Is Worth Living course that may be available to them through Edovo on their secure tablet.
You will not be electronically connected through the two systems, and you do not have to remain on exactly the same lesson. What matters is that you now have something meaningful to talk about together. Faith. Forgiveness. Responsibility. Suffering. Hope. Family. Healing. God.
A phone call that once centered primarily on prison life and circumstances can begin becoming a conversation about what each of you is discovering and who God is calling each of you to become.
Take Life Is Worth Living alongside your incarcerated loved one.
One Course. Two Places. A Shared Journey.
Begin online
Work through Fulton Sheen’s 50 lessons from home, individually or together with other members of your family.
Invite them in through Edovo
If Edovo is available at their correctional facility, they can open the Edovo app on their secure tablet and search for Fulton Sheen or Life Is Worth Living.
Talk about what you’re learning
Use approved telephone calls or correctional messaging to discuss the lessons with one another. The two systems are not directly connected, so you may not always be on exactly the same lesson.
The systems may not be connected—but the family can be.
Changing the Conversation Can Begin With Changing the Relationship
Incarceration can cause family conversations to become centered almost entirely around immediate circumstances—court dates, money, commissary, disappointments, conflict, what happened yesterday, and what might happen tomorrow. Life Is Worth Living gives a family another language.
A mother can ask her son what Fulton Sheen said about suffering. A husband can talk with his wife about forgiveness. A daughter can tell her father what she discovered about human dignity. A brother can talk with his brother about responsibility, hope, faith, and what it means to begin again.
These conversations do not erase the past. But they can open another road toward: Understanding, Responsibility, Forgiveness, Reconciliation, Healing, Hope, Restoration.

A man sitting alone in a prison cell. A woman searching for hope. A husband longing to restore his family. A mother praying that her child will come home changed. A soul discovering perhaps for the first time that his or her life truly is worth living.
Fulton Sheen’s message does not stop at the prison wall. And neither should the love of a family.
