A Mortificação (Vida Espiritual)

Rate this book
"A própria privação dos gostos dos sentidos, a própria pena da mortificação, é para quem ama a Deus um verdadeiro deleite, não do corpo, é claro, mas da alma."
A mortificação é um dos meios mais eficazes para elevar a alma a Deus, fazê-la progredir na vida interior, vencer as tentações e as más inclinações e aumentar a glória no Céu, explica Santa Afonso nesse pequeno volume. De fato, que santo não teve uma vida mortificada? Qual deles não desejou ardentemente vencer em si os resquícios do pecado original, a tríplice concupiscência e unir-se, com isso, a Deus?
É um livro de poucas páginas, mas que faz despertar o desejo de vencer o egoísmo reinante em nós e nos alavancar para mais próximo da bem-aventurança.

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.
