Umiłowanie Jezusa Chrystusa w życiu codziennym

by Alfonso María de Liguori

Umiłowanie Jezusa Chrystusa w życiu codziennym jest najbardziej dojrzałym dziełem św. Alfonsa, napisanym w ostatnim okresie jego życia. Stanowi swego rodzaju syntezę myśli Świętego nad tym, czym jest życie duchowe. Kreśli w nim „program życia duchowego” dla wszystkich, także dla żyjących z dala od Boga. Proponuje im „drogę doskonałej miłości”, będącą odpowiedzią na niesłychaną miłość Boga objawioną w Jezusie Chrystusie.

Zapewnia, że „jest wielkim błędem to, co mówią niektórzy, że Bóg nie chce, by wszyscy byli świętymi. Bóg chce mieć wszystkich świętymi, a każdego w swoim stanie, zakonnika jako zakonnika, świeckiego jako świeckiego, kapłana jako kapłana, żonatego jako żonatego, sprzedawcę jako sprzedawcę, żołnierza jako żołnierza”.

Św. Alfons Maria de Liguori (1696–1787), będąc uznanym adwokatem, po przegranym procesie sądowym wstępuje do seminarium i w 1726 roku przyjmuje święcenia kapłańskie. W Neapolu pracuje wśród ludzi ubogich i prostych, do których inni kapłani nie docierali. Takich ludzi spotkał również w wioskach koło Neapolu. Z myślą o nich założył Zgromadzenie Najświętszego Odkupiciela (redemptoryści), któremu powierzył misję głoszenia Ewangelii najbardziej opuszczonym. W 1762 roku został biskupem diecezji Sant’ Agata dei Goti. Papież Pius IX ogłosił go doktorem Kościoła, a Pius XII patronem spowiedników i moralistów.

About the author

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.

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.

[Pedro Magalhães · Rating 4 out of 5]

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.

De reflexión y ayuda para la oración

Es un libro que explica claramente los medios para poder acercarse a Cristo . Acompaño de medios para fortalecer la oración es un vehículo importante para ayudarse en el proceso de conversión o de camino a perfeccionar su oración

[Jen S. · Rating 5 out of 5]

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.

[Caique Barbosa · Rating 4 out of 5]

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.

[Emma Dumais · Rating 3 out of 5]

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.

[Gabriel C · Rating 5 out of 5]

Um dos melhores livros que já li.

[Juan · Rating 3 out of 5]

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

[Rose Collins · Rating 5 out of 5]

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

[Brendan T · Rating 5 out of 5]

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

[Elizabeth Kosorski · Rating 5 out of 5]

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.
