Our Sunday Visitor joins in rejoicing. It was during the 1930s that then-Father Sheen began writing for Our Sunday Visitor newsweekly. Already
famous for his "Catholic Hour" radio program, Sheen discussed the problem of living the faith in an
increasingly secularized world.
A line from his 1938 article was all too
prophetic: "The vision of the cross is fading; the borderland between
light and darkness is growing dimmer and the world is about to pass over into
the hinterland of darkness and ruin."
