Summary/Abstract: The article concerns the Marian aspect of the spirituality of a well known American bishop, author of many publications, and famous preacher, Servant of God Fulton Sheen. The author shows, on the basis of Sheen’s most important publications, the bishop’s dogmatic teaching on Mother of God, the main forms of Marian piety put forward by him, and the idea of Her as a role model in the Christian spirituality. The Marian spirituality of Fulton Sheen, as early as in the pre conciliar time, realized generally ten aspects of devotion to the Blessed Virgin, which later Pope Paul VI indicated in his apostolic exhortation Marialis cultus, in 1974.
