Fraternal Charity

Fraternal Charity 
By Father Benoit Valuy (1808-1869) 


This short treatise comes from a work by the Roman Catholic priest 
Father Valuy, S.J., and bears an imprimatur. It was written for 
members of religious orders; yet, as the translator notes, it may be of 
interest to others, for "Iove, the sunshine of existence, is wanted 
everywhere." The first five chapters cover the fundamentals of 
fraternal charity. Chapters 6 through 17 discuss twelve 
characteristics of fraternal charity. Chapters 18 and 19 show how 
God manifests the virtue of charity to us most perfectly. Chapters 20 
through 30 list eleven ways to preserve charity in a community. 
Chapters 31 and 32 give advice on how to persevere in charity under 
difficult circumstances. The appendix includes a few points from the 
pen of Father Faber on the practice of fraternal charity and a list of 
the exemplary characteristics of religious members who manifest this 
important virtue. (Introduction by dave7)
