Descriere Our Lady of Sorrows: A Compilation of the Teachings of St. Alphonsus Liguori - St Alphonsus Liguori

\nFrom Slaying Dragons Press Classics, this compilation of the teachings of the great Doctor of the Church, St. Alphonsus Liguori, on the topic of the sufferings of Our Lady, what are known as her Seven Sorrows, is sure to stir both a deeper appreciation for the agony Our Lady experienced as well as a greater understanding of the singular and salvific union between this Holy Mother and her Divine Son.\n \n\n \n\n \n\n \nAmong the many writings of St. Alphonsus Liguori, his collection of meditations and teachings on the Seven Sorrows (or Dolors) of Our Lady are among the most insightful and most moving. One of the great gifts St. Alphonsus provided the world is his mastery of the teachings of the Fathers and Doctors and great Saints of the Church. As in all of his writings, these meditations incorporate a synopsis of the teachings of the great Saints on the topic of Our Lady's sorrows.\n \n\n \nFollowing three short introductions to the general topic of devotion to the Mother of God, this book contains the sermon, or Discourse, which St. Alphonsus wrote on the topic of her Sorrows, followed by lengthy meditations on each of the Seven Sorrows. This compilation also includes: \n \n-St. Alphonsus' little Rosary, or Chaplet, of the Seven Dolors of Mary\n \n-St. Alphonsus' teaching on the power that Our Lady wields to protect us against the devil's temptations\n \n-An explanation of the two Sacramentals, little known today, established in honor of Our Lady's Sorrows, and\n \n-A collection of prayers to Our Lady, curated by St. Alphonsus, from some of the great Saints in the history of the Church.\n \n\n \nOur Lord has revealed to many Saints how much He values, and rewards, the love and compassion we have for His Mother and her Sorrows. Every reader of this book will come away with an indelible awareness of the unfathomable depth of the love she held for her Divine Son, which will serve as the basis for a renewed devotion to Our Lady and, in following her example, to Our Lord Himself.\n \n\n \nSt. Alphonsus Liguori (1696 - 1787), was a zealous missionary, exemplary bishop, miracle worker, and prolific writer whose praises were sung by the whole Church during his life and after his death. Following his departure from this world, the Pope was inundated with requests to list St. Alphonsus Liguori among the great Doctors of the Church, an honor which his writings, capturing the hearts of all who take hold of them, testify he is worthy.\n
