St. Alphonsus Liguori—Uniformity With God’s Will | Catholic Culture Audiobooks

“True, we should esteem the things that make for the glory of God, but we should show the greatest esteem for those that concern the will of God.”

St. Alphonsus, a Doctor of the Church, was an Italian bishop who lived from 1696-1787. He is the patron saint of confessors and perhaps one of the most widely read Catholic authors in the world (translations of his works exist in over seventy different languages). St. Alphonsus was a prolific writer who wrote over one hundred works on spirituality and theology.

This text was written in 1755 and represents a topic that was dear to St. Alphonsus’ heart. It is said that, in a similar way to how St. Ignatius stressed “all for the greater glory of God,” St. Alphonsus gave central importance to “the greater good pleasure of God.” After writing this work, St. Alphonsus frequently read it himself, and even had it read to him when his eyesight began to fail.

Uniformity with God's Will is a truly timeless spiritual classic.

If I tried to read this in a book, sleep would overcome me. not because of the subject matter, just part of getting old. But I just listened to the entire audiobook and say "Well read"! Thank you. Recommended reading is also Abandonment to Divine Providence by de Caussade. Great saints think alike !

I have stopped reading books as I'm now getting older and start to fall asleep. So this video and reading is good for me as it's good for my soul 😊 Thank you for these readings you are of great service to us 🙏 🇲🇹

Thank you for telling us, verbatim, of what these Saints wrote. It is so difficult to find books about our Saints in the Philippines. St Paul's Publications said printing books about lives of Catholic Saints, is no longer frequent. It means, , less & less people are reading these books, esp the new genetation.

Thank you. It is true that the best gift from God is not health, beauty or wealth, but Salvation. I pray that from now onwards, I happily unite my suffering to Jesus. God's will be done, always. I learn, to surrender all to God's will.

[joanns]

Radically life-changing! God has prepared me for this book!!!! It had helped me to understand why things have happened in my life and how I have not understood His purposes in my life! AMAZED by the beautiful love and purposes of God to get us to unify our will to His will! Every serious Christian should
read this book on "repeat" monthly, or weekly, even daily when necessary... So very happy someone posted this audible version! I see God's love in my sufferings... Wow... so much love... ❤

LOVING FATHER/ABBA GIVE US THE MERCIFUL GRACES TO ALWAYS BE OBEDIENT TO YOUR WILL IN EVERYTHING🙏🙏🙏

[precydimatera]

Thank you I have learned a lot from these work of St. Alfonsus Liguori. It answered a lot of my questions !

[countingdown]

What a pleasure to have this reading. He did not just "tell you what to do", he gave examples of what we need to do to surrender our wills to the will of God. It was made easy to understand just what to do. I needed that direction. I have always said the words..."thy will be done". I did not understand the value of the words. From now on I will be more reverent as I say them. I will listen to this often.

[lesleyakora]

Thank you Holy St for explaining in a way that is easier for me to implore God 's Devine Will in my daily life.❤❤❤❤❤❤
