GOD LOVE YOU. THE BEST OF FULTON J. SHEEN
This book contains a collection of thought-provoking writings compiled by Sheen into a book originally titled, The Best of Fulton J. Sheen - God Love You. (Published by the Maco Magazine Corp., New York in 1955.)
Each paragraph has been selected from over two dozen books written by him for the particular help and guidance they can bring to the reader. These brief, incisive selections from Archbishop Sheen reveal the mind of a brilliant man and a true pastor of souls.
In this anthology, you will find a treasury of guideposts wherein Sheen highlights the role of the virtues, the passions, and the value of personal introspection. He engages the reader using his unique blend of sensitivity and humor.
"... The basic passion of all is love..."
"... Pleasure comes from without, but joy comes from within..."
"... The mind must know but it never knows anything fully until it knows God..."
"... There is only one thing definitely and absolutely your own, and that is your will..."
"... Human love is a spark from the great flame of eternity..."
"... Faith will answer the principal problems of your life: Why? Whence? Whither? ..."
"... Nothing ever happens to the world which did not first happen inside the mind of some man..."
"... There can be no world peace unless there is soul peace..."
"... God never refuses grace to those who honestly ask for it..."
"... What death is to the body...sin is to the soul..."
During one of his radio addresses in 1944, Archbishop Sheen fondly said, "I have always addressed you as friends, and you know that unseen friends are sometimes the best friends. To say 'my friends', would be to claim a privilege. But friends are the expression of a hope. A hope that by listening to me, I may with traitorous trueness and with loyal deceit, betray you into the hands of the God of Love and Mercy."
Friends, "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; even as I have loved you, and that you also love one another. By this, all men will know that you are my disciples if you have love for one another." (John 13:34-35).
