Product Overview
Two of St. Alphonsus LIguori's classics in one volume. Written in 1755, Uniformity with God's Will is a wonderful little treatise on the true love of God. Saint Alphonsus de Liguori writes to encourage believers to unify their wills with that of God's, so that they may love God perfectly: the more one unites his will with the divine will, the greater will be his love of God. To choose otherwise--i.e. to choose not to unify one's will with God's--is a kind of idolatry. These seven short chapters, not simply prone to abstract speculation, explore concretely how to make one's own will uniform with God's through the hardships of this life. Further, the book discusses the fruit of such a union with God's will: happiness. De Liguori concludes by noting how, in all things, Christians must remain steadfast in their union with God's will. For in so doing, God will press us to his heart. Challenging and encouraging, Uniformity with God's Will has the power to remind us of what true love of God really is. In The Practice of the Love of Jesus Christ, Saint Alphonsus Liguori points out the practical wisdom contained in St. Paul's meditation on love in 1 Corinthians 13. Divided into seventeen small chapters, each preceded by prayers and intercessions, it offers practical prescriptions for living a holy life.
