With love as its central focus, this anthology begins with a collection of essays and prayers compiled by Fulton Sheen under the title 'Love One Another'. (Published by P.J. Kenedy & Sons, New York in 1944.)
In these writings, Sheen speaks to Catholics, Protestants, and Jews regarding the fostering of friendships between various religious groups. Additionally, he makes several practical suggestions on how to improve relations between people of varying backgrounds. An array of reflections is presented for devotional inspiration, simultaneously laying out a groundwork in spiritual values proven to facilitate harmonious relationships.
The are some who have considered this work a 'must-read' for those sincerely interested in seeking the attainment of a genuine brotherhood of man. Others may find in this collection, some prayerful and practical solutions to many of today's most challenging interpersonal problems. Archbishop Fulton Sheen made it clear that the command given by Jesus 'to love your neighbor as yourself', is clearly an effective answer to combating the sin of intolerance.
