Catholic Drive Time - 877-757-9424
Date – Tuesday, August 1st, 2023 – St. Alphonsus Maria de Ligouri
1. Alphonsus Maria de Ligouri was born in Naples, Italy, in 1696, into a noble family.
2. He excelled academically, becoming a doctor of law at the University of Bologna by the age of 16.
3. Alphonsus pursued a successful career as a lawyer and gained a reputation as one of the leaders of the Neapolitan Bar by age 26.
4. However, a legal setback caused by a dispute involving different feudal law codes led him to question the pursuit of earthly achievements and focus more on piety.
5. At age 30, Alphonsus experienced a divine appeal to leave the world and dedicate himself to God, leading to his decision to enter the ecclesiastical state.
6. He was ordained in 1726 and spent the next six years engaging in an intense apostolate, giving missions and preaching to the poor in rural areas.
7. Alphonsus founded the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer (the Redemptorist Order) to continue his work of evangelizing and caring for the humble people.
8. In the later part of his life, he concentrated on writing, especially in the field of Moral Theology, drawing from his experience in confessing thousands of souls.
9. Despite numerous offers, Alphonsus declined to become an archbishop but accepted the Bishopric of St. Agatha of the Goths in 1762, where he reformed the diocese and faced assassination attempts.
10. He lived the last years of his life in suffering, battling physical and moral torments, and passed away in 1787 at the age of 90.
St. Alphonsus Maria de Ligouri, pray for us!
