Monday Musings- "The End of Christendom"

I am a big fan of Archbishop Sheen. It is a shame that so many Catholics do not know more about him and his writings. 

The following quotation is a powerful reminder of an unsettling truth: our Loving Lord has placed prophets here among us but we have ignored them.

What a different world this would be had we listened to the prophetic voice of Archbishop Sheen and the other messengers God has sent:
