    • This site has some of St. Alphonsus' books in audio format. What a better way to celebrate his feast day than to listen/read his books? I highly recommend his Preparation For Death in particular, been listening to it for these past two days and have found myself spiritually richer for doing so.

    • A good excerpt from Butler's Lives of the Saints:

    Quote
    Alphonsus recommended two things only to these missioners, simplicity in the pulpit, charity in the confessional, and after hearing one of the priests neglect his advice he said to him, "Your sermon kept me awake all night...If you wanted to preach only yourself, rather than Jesus Christ, why come all the way from Naples to Ariola to do it?"

    "In all thy works remember thy last end, and thou shalt never sin." [Ecclus. 7:40]

    "A holy man continueth in wisdom as the sun: but a fool is changed as the moon." [Ecclus. 27:12]
