Kako ćemo ljubiti Isusa Krista
Kako ćemo ljubiti Isusa Krista najpoznatije je djelo svetoga Alfonza Liguorija, biskupa, crkvenoga naučitelja i jednoga od najpoznatijih katoličkih moralista i duhovnih pisaca. Nastalo je iz čvrsta uvjerenja da je ljubav jedini pravi odgovor koji čovjek može dati svom Stvoritelju i Otkupitelju te da se ta ljubav sastoji u vršenju volje Božje i suobličavanju svoga života životu Isusa Krista.
Prvi put je ugledalo svjetlo dana 1768. godine i odmah doživjelo golem uspjeh koji još uvijek traje tako da danas postoji preko 600 izdanja na gotovo svim svjetskim jezicima te se malo koji duhovni klasik može s njim mjeriti. Naraštaji i naraštaji kršćana su se na njemu nadahnjivali i crpli iz njega duhovnu korist. Sam sveti Alfonz ga je okarakterizirao kao ‟najpobožnije i najkorisnije od svih drugih” djela koje je napisao.
Temelji ovoga djela nalaze se u crkvenom nauku, naučavanju crkvenih otaca, iskustvu svetaca i, iznad svega, na Svetom pismu. Danas, kada nam se nude različiti mutni duhovni kokteli, ovaj bistar izvor je zaista dobrodošao. Čitajući ovo djelo ili razmatrajući nad njegovim odlomcima, uključivši svoj razum i svoje srce, sigurno ćemo više uzljubiti Isusa Krista i naći načina da tu ljubav provedemo u djelo, koračajući tako putem kršćanskoga savršenstva.

If you want to be closer to Christ, this is an excellent resource.

Demasiadas partes buenas, que lo sumerjen a uno en una reflexión profunda. Lo que más me marcó con esta lectura fue el desprenderse, el renunciar todo por amor a Jesucrísto. De todo, de amistades, seres queridos y claro de posesiones materiales.

Incroyable de A à Z !!! Il devient un de mes favoris sans hésiter ! Il y a tout ce qu’il faut dedans, beaucoup de paroles de Saints également.

LA CANTIDAD EXCESIVA DE COSAS QUE MARQUÉ.
Al principio, le tenía miedo porque generalmente este tipo de lecturas no suelo entenderlas. Y lo sencillo que San Alfonso pone las cosas... hizo que reflexionara mucho mi relación con Dios. Me ayudó a comprender como debo practicar el amor, en todas las dimenciones posibles. Y fue como una curita para el corazón. Y lo más bonito, es que citó muchas veces a San Francisco de Sales. Esto significa mucho para mí. Algunas de las frases que más me sonaron:
1. "El alma que ama mucho a Jesucritsto no puede vivir en la tierra sin desear y esperar ir pronto al cielo a unirse con su amado Señor".
2. "Es éste un defecto muy universal de la miseria humana: ir buscando en todas las acciones la propia satisfacción".
3. "Un acto de humildad vale más que la conquista de todas las riquezas del mundo".
4. "Las verdades de la fe no se ven con los ojos corporales, sino con los del alma, y precisamente en la meditación".
5. "No puede darse premio sin mérito, ni mérito sin paciencia".

Livro extremamente prático e eficaz. Santo Afonso não se guarda quanto a necessidade da conversão e, a partir disso, exorta diversos meios para alcançá-lá - bem como o porquê de o fazer.
Quem ama a Jesus, necessariamente ama o sofrimento. Há grande graça naquele que silencia ao sofrer uma injúria. Foi a lição que mais me tocou nesse livro. Por vezes se torna levemente repetitivo, mas o próprio Santo Afonso reconhece que, ao fazer isso, mostra o quanto é necessário sempre, repetitivamente, estarmos nos lembrando de Jesus.

St Alphonsus is quickly becoming my favourite writer saint. His writing is straight forward but also beautiful. This book is a bit tougher than his shorter treatises on prayer but it still balances the high demands of living a holy life with the immense love and forgiveness Christ offers us sinners.

Initially this took me months to read, but now I want to reread it yearly. So many questions about what my relationship with Christ should look like in specifics and not just generalities have been answered. I can’t wait to read other works by St. Alphonsus Liguori.

Certamente valioso para quem já tenha alguma caminhada na fé católica. Linguagem bem acessível, conselhos muito relevantes e sempre referenciando outros santos.
Não dou 5 estrelas por achar deveras repetitivo e as vezes parecer que o público-alvo do livro é sacerdotes ou religiosas.

A great book that gives one a simplistic basic knowledge of asectical living and the perfect love of Jesus Christ. St. Alphonsus, as always, is a very understandable concise writer, and his book is good for anyone who needs convincing that Christ is our all and deserves our all.

The old language and old fashioned view of the world made it hard to connect with it sometimes.

Insightful, practical advice for developing a deep spiritual life. I need to read this book at least once a year!

Just amazing. Like a complete synthesis of the life following Christ. Such a gem, really deserves more praise by Catholics I think.

This book messed me up. It took me forever to read because I was so convicted I had to stop after every section and work through it.
