Why is it so hard to love one another--and where do we find the strength to begin?
Fulton J. Sheen leads readers to the heart of the Blessed Trinity, where love is an eternal gift shared by the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. From that divine source, he traces God's patient pursuit of the human soul through restlessness, suffering, grace, and the invitation to conversion.
With searching questions about pride, envy, and selfishness, Sheen shows why love asks more of us than good intentions. Baptism, the Eucharist, Confession, prayer, and daily self-denial draw us into Christ's life and teach us to love as He loves. That charity takes shape in forgiveness, the works of mercy, and reverence for every person--including those we find hardest to love.
Rich with Scripture, poetry, and the wisdom of the saints, this is a compelling call to let friendship with God transform our friendships with one another.
