Publications authored by Saint Alphonsus Liguori, an influential 18th-century Catholic theologian, bishop, and Doctor of the Church, encompass a wide range of spiritual and moral topics. His writings often address prayer, the spiritual life, moral theology, and pastoral guidance. A prime example is his treatise Uniformity with God’s Will, which emphasizes acceptance of divine providence. Other significant works include The Glories of Mary and Visits to the Most Blessed Sacrament and to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
These texts offer valuable insights into Catholic spirituality and continue to be studied and cherished by believers centuries later. His emphasis on a practical, accessible approach to holiness makes his work relevant to a broad audience. Born in Naples, Italy, in 1696, St. Alphonsus founded the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer (Redemptorists), a religious order dedicated to preaching and missionary work. His theological contributions, particularly in moral theology, significantly impacted the Church. He was canonized in 1839 and declared a Doctor of the Church in 1871, solidifying his legacy as a prominent figure in Catholic thought.
