This powerful encyclical from Pope Benedict XVI focus' on how we are to share God's love with our neighbor. Using Biblical passages, the parable of the good Samaritan among others, Pope Benedict XVI emphasizes a Catholic's love for neighbor includes the whole world, not just the people we know. This, along with the other Catholic books I've read this year, really drive home the point about St. Pope John Paul II's Theology of the Body. When you love your neighbor, and everybody is your neighbor, you don't take advantage of them in your mind and think it is alright.
