St. Alphonsus Liguori (2 August): All For the Glory of God

About this sermon

St. Alphonsus Maria Liguori was one of the greatest saints in Church history—a brilliant lawyer who abandoned worldly success to become a priest, founder of the Redemptorists, Doctor of the Church, and Doctor of Moral Theology. In this talk we explore his extraordinary life, his conversion from the legal profession, his powerful preaching, his founding of the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer, and why his writings continue to shape Catholic spirituality centuries later. Discover why St. Alphonsus insisted that prayer is the "great means of salvation," how he fought the errors of Jansenism, encouraged frequent confession, promoted devotion to Our Lady, and authored timeless spiritual classics such as The Glories of Mary, Preparation for Death, Uniformity with God's Will, and Visits to the Blessed Sacrament. Whether you are struggling in your spiritual life, seeking holiness, or simply wanting to know one of the Church's greatest teachers, this presentation offers practical wisdom that remains just as relevant today.
