The Life of St. Alphonsus Liguori
Alphonsus earned his law doctorate at sixteen and became one of the brightest lawyers in Naples. He laid down his career to become a priest and spent his life preaching missions to poor country people, founding the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer in 1732.
He wrote more than a hundred works, from moral theology to simple books of prayer, and he was a gentle, merciful confessor. His Visits to the Blessed Sacrament and The Glories of Mary are still treasured by everyday Catholics.
