Sermons of St. Alphonsus: For All the Sundays of the Year

The Sermons of St. Alphonsus Liguori for All the Sundays of the Year is one of the most powerful and compelling spiritual books ever written. Expounding on the theme, "What doth if profit a man if he gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his own soul," St. Alphonsus Liguori dwells repeatedly on the Four Last Things-Heaven, Hell, Death and Judgment. With relentless consistency, he brings the reader's mind to considering his own eternal destiny, weaving in proofs and stories that exemplify every conceivable aspect of man's tenuous grasp on this mortal life. No one can read these sermons without being profoundly moved, without turning from evil to good, or without turning from virtue to even greater virtue. It is hard to imagine that even the most hardened soul will be able to resist the relentless logic that this marvelous Doctor of the Church marshals up on every page.
