Thanksgiving after Confession with Saint Alphonsus Maria de Liguori

About this book

Saint Alphonsus Mary de Liguori teaches that the true fruit of the sacrament of confession begins upon leaving the confessional. For him, it is not enough to simply fulfill a formality; it is necessary to respond with gratitude, recollection, and clear resolutions, because each absolution is an immense mercy received freely. In Thanksgiving after Confession with Saint Alphonsus Mary de Liguori, you will find the ideal accompaniment to deepen this moment, avoiding spiritual routine and making concrete commitments to grow in virtue and avoid relapses. Inspired by the practical and pastoral wisdom of Saint Alphonsus, this book offers prayers and meditations that invite the penitent to ask for the grace not to fall again into sin, to persevere in the face of the next temptation, and to prepare for a good death, according to Catholic tradition. With 30 prayers based on the Bible, spaces for personal notes, and a novena for forgiveness, the reader will be able to make his own the moderation, hope, and strength that characterize Alphonsian spirituality. The traditional illustrations, together with brief introductions to the life and teachings of Saint Alphonsus, enrich the experience and bring his example closer: a man capable of bringing reconciliation and persevering prayer to all who seek to heal their soul and live with greater devotion.
