Description

Saint Alphonsus Liguori by Fr. D.F. Miller & Fr. L.X. Aubin (1987). This compelling biography by Fathers Miller and Aubin captures the remarkable life of St. Alphonsus Liguori—bishop, confessor, founder of the Redemptorist Order, and Doctor of the Church. Renowned for his intellect, he earned a doctorate in civil and Canon Law at 16 but left his legal career at 26 to become a priest. As a missionary and founder of the "Redemptorists," St. Alphonsus reconciled countless souls to Christ, often through miraculous events like prophecies, cures, and even calming Mount Vesuvius with a blessing. His writings, praised by Popes, countered the harshness of Jansenism with a message of God’s mercy, leaving a legacy that continues to inspire Catholics today.
