Volume 06 of 22 in the Aesthetical Works of St. Alphonsus de Ligouri, first published in 1887. Alphonsus Maria de Liguori was an Italian Catholic bishop, spiritual writer, scholastic philosopher and theologian, and founder of the Redemptorists, an influential religious congregation. He was canonized in 1839 and proclaimed a Doctor of the Church in 1871. In this sixth volume of his "Aesthetical Works", Ligouri writes in great detail about the Holy Eucharist and its saving power against sin.With references from every corner of Christendom, including Sacred Scripture, the saints, and the Holy Fathers, this powerful book is ideal for personal reflection. The saint writes to instill in the heart of the reader a sense of the necessity of the Holy Eucharist as the saving power of the world.Reproduced from older English editions, this non-facsimile (not-photocopied) 2015 edition has been faithfully edited (with 1,068 footnotes) to provide a clean and trim appearance of the original text and to continue the proliferation of a great spiritual work.
