Books by Alphonsus Maria de'

This inspiring book, reissued in a new translation for the modern reader, is considered to be Saint Alphonsus Liguori's best devotional work. Divided into seventeen small chapters, each preceded by prayers and intercessions, it offers practical prescriptions for living a holy life.

This classic devotional work testifies to St. Alphonsus Liguori's love of Mary and is a treasury of Marian stories and teachings, published in this edition to honor the 250th anniversary of its original publication. Alphonsus provides a phrase-by-phrase examination of the Marian hymn "Hail Holy Queen" and meditations on various Marian themes, including her major feasts, seven sorrows, virtues and practices of devotion in her honor.
