Saint Alphonsus Liguori
Memory of Saint Alphonsus Maria de Liguori, Bishop and Doctor of the Church, distinguished by the zeal of soul, by his writings, by his word and example, worked tirelessly preaching and writing books, especially on moral theology, of which he is considered to be master, for promoting the Christian life in the village. Among great difficulties, he founded the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer, to evangelize the illiterate people. Elected Bishop of Saint Agatha of the Goths, he surrendered so uniquely to this mission, which he would leave fifteen years later, suffering from serious diseases, and spent the rest of his life in Nocera de'Pagani, in Campania, accepting big challenges.
