Separated from God, society tragically propagates a notion of love that is, in truth, the antithesis of authentic love. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eNow more than ever we need Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen’s wisdom, wit, and logic to refute these errors. In our sightless, irrational, and deeply polarized world, his prescient words elucidate the most divisive issues of our time. Mindful that we are all children of God, Archbishop Sheen decries anti-Semitism, racism, and sexism. He also explains what real tolerance means and why anti-hate campaigns don’t work.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Greatest Commandment \u003c\/em\u003eis a timely reprint of Archbishop Sheen’s two seminal books \u003cem\u003eLove One Another \u003c\/em\u003eand \u003cem\u003eGod Loves You\u003c\/em\u003e. This anthology of his bestselling reflections also contains quotes and prayers that he compiled to foster ecumenism and societal unity.

God’s loving quest for our souls in turn impels us to love our neighbor. Love is a decision and requires sacrifice; it is the total gift of self for another. Our witness aids the disillusioned in finding their way to God. By cooperating with God’s Love, we will bring about the restoration of the world. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sophia Institute Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52966194118965,"sku":"1010184","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0921\/7494\/2517\/files\/media_8335a1b6-21db-4b60-b5e9-4ac835c363cc.jpg?v=1780673007","url":"https:\/\/www.catholiccompany.com\/products\/the-greatest-commandment-a-fulton-sheen-anthology-on-love","provider":"The Catholic Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
