St. Alphonsus Liguori
The spiritual works of St. Alphonsus Maria de Liguori — Doctor of Prayer, founder of the Redemptorists, and one of the greatest ascetical writers of the Church.
Bishop, founder of the Redemptorists, Doctor of the Church and Doctor of Prayer — St. Alphonsus Maria de Liguori (1696–1787) wrote for the simple soul who wants to be a saint and does not know where to start. His works return again and again to the same convictions: that prayer is necessary for salvation, that union with the will of God is the whole of holiness, and that Mary is the great means by which mercy reaches us.
