"This contact with the honesty of the street became the basis for a lasting influence in moral theology."--Prof Charles Paris, Simon Fraser University Burnaby British Columbia (1989)
Saint Alfonso María de Liguori, CSsR (1696–1787), was an Italian Catholic bishop, spiritual writer, composer, musician, artist, poet, lawyer, scholastic philosopher, and theologian.
He founded the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer (the Redemptorists). In 1762 he was appointed Bishop of Sant'Agata dei Goti. A prolific writer, he published nine editions of his "Moral Theology" in his lifetime, in addition to other devotional and ascetic works and letters. Among his best known works are "The Glories of Mary" and "The Way of the Cross", the latter still used in parishes during Lenten devotions.
He was canonized in 1839 by Pope Gregory XVI and proclaimed a Doctor of the Church by Pope Pius IX in 1871. One of the most widely read Catholic authors, he is the patron saint of confessors.
A great book to meditate on and a wonderful reminder that our God deserves to be loved with all our hearts all our spirit and all our strength and from that love God will provide us the ability to love our neighbors. A very timely and relevant message for our current turbulent times. Praise be to God most high and to the Son Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
This book is exceptionally beautiful. It was recommended to me by Meg Hunter-Kilmer, a wonderful Catholic speaker. This book is life changing. It is easy to see why Saint Alphonsus Liguori is a Saint and a Doctor of the Church. True to its title, this whole book is treasure leading you into a fuller surrender to God's will and a deeper relationship with Jesus. This book would be a tremendous companion for anyone in the midst of a difficult season, although it is not limited to trials and tribulations. For anyone wanting to live a more enriched faith and a profoundly Catholic life, this book is an incredible one to read over and over. Note: This edition is full of typos, however the content is so amazing that even the most egregious typos did not cause a detraction or distraction in the experience or enjoyment of the book.
