In the words of Pope Pius XI, the Cross “is the holy sign of redemption and the emblem of moral strength and greatness.” In \u003ci\u003eThe Seven Virtues\u003c\/i\u003e, Fulton J. Sheen carefully illustrates this pattern with a set of meditations on the Seven Last Words of Christ, connecting each to one of the seven cardinal and theological virtues. Readily recognizing that modern man suffers from a condition of spiritual fragmentation, Sheen prescribes peace as the remedy for that condition. And the path to peace is paved by the virtues of fortitude, prudence, justice, temperance, faith, hope, and charity—each exemplified by Jesus Christ in his life on earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eOriginally published in 1940, amidst the early tumult and turmoil of World War II, Fulton J.

As Patrick Joseph Cardinal Hayes articulated at its inaugural broadcast, it aimed to make known the Catholic faith: “to make better understood that faith as it really is—a light revealing the pathway to heaven; a strength and a power divine through Christ; pardoning our sins, consecrating our every-day duties and joys, bringing not only justice but gladness and peace to our searching and questioning hearts.” In these thirty-one addresses, Archbishop Sheen accomplishes that purpose, making it wonderfully clear that in God alone does mankind discover who he really is—the very image of the God who is Love.

In these twenty-eight addresses, Archbishop Sheen expounds upon the meaning of love: the love of God who created man out of love, then redeemed him and sanctified him into the Divine life by that same love; the love of husband and wife; the love of family—father, mother, child; the love of priest and religious for souls; the love of Christians for the Church; the love of each and every human being which is a form of love in truth, which is not self-seeking but at the service of others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eCombining addresses originally published in the volumes \u003ci\u003eLove on Pilgrimage \u003c\/i\u003e(1946) and \u003ci\u003eThe Love That Waits for You \u003c\/i\u003e(1949), \u003ci\u003eLove \u003c\/i\u003eshows the way out of the devil’s trap of hatred and greed, envy and misery—and it is the way of divine Love, incarnated in Jesus Christ, who offers to every man and woman an escape into Truth and Life, if they will but follow Him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\" class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003eWhat keeps us back most from the fire of Love?

With his usual candor, Sheen sets the problem straight by showing how Communism is both effect and judgment on the West, which has forsaken the Gospel, left its Christian duties unfulfilled, and abandoned the Father’s house. To survive both the disease of Western decadence and the rot of atheistic Communism, mankind must return to true Christian civilization, acknowledging God as the Creator, the Guarantor of liberty and law, and the Giver of all good things by His sacramental grace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\" class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003eFor Sion’s sake I will not hold my peace, and for the sake of Jerusalem, I will not rest till her just one come forth as brightness, and her savior be lighted as a lamp. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e(The Prophecy of Isaias)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFulton J.
