“[Este] não é um daqueles livretos ascéticos e de mera devoção que, com mais ou menos fruto, com maior ou menor unção, têm por objeto o servir de pasto espiritual às almas piedosas; mas é um livro utilíssimo, indispensável de certo modo às duas classes de pessoas que formam todo o rebanho cristão: a sacerdotes e a leigos; a catequistas e a catecúmenos; a instrutores e a instruídos; a confessores e a penitentes; a pregadores e a fiéis.

É uma obra que, atendido seu objetivo, dificilmente pode ser substituída por alguma outra; é um verdadeiro tratado de teologia moral ao alcance do povo, que abraça todos os estados e condições da sociedade, desde o mais humilde até o mais elevado; desenvolvendo com admirável simplicidade, método e clareza nossos deveres e nossas faltas segundo os mandamentos da lei divina; dando uma ideia não menos clara e precisa dos canais pelos quais se nos comunica a Graça de Deus, que são os Sacramentos, e explicando com maior extensão tudo o que devemos praticar para receber dignamente o Sacramento da Penitência, que, conforme São Jerônimo, é para nós como uma tábua após um naufrágio.

É um livro popular, um livro prático, útil às ovelhas e aos pastores, que reúne a solidez da simplicidade e o frescor da importância; por fim, é um livro que [...] poderíamos sem temor qualificar como livro necessário.”

Dom Joaquim Roca e Cornet

The great means of salvation and perfection that the title of this book refers to is prayer. The book explores the necessity of prayer, the power of prayer, and the conditions of prayer before going on to explain how the efficacy of prayer is guaranteed if a certain approach is taken.

I found this approach extremely helpful, and something which I had not truly considered before. The book left me feeling motivated and inspired.

Following a couple of chapters on ‘mental prayer’, another term for Christian meditation, there is also a useful section giving meditations for an eight day retreat. I didn’t read this as I felt that I would use this during my next retreat.

There were, however, parts of the book I found less helpful, including a section on the heresy of Jansenism which was clearly a big issue in St. Alphonsus’ day, and the last hundred pages which relate to a young person’s vocation to the religious life, and which I chose not to read either. I may read it one day, just to truly complete the book.

Overall then four stars...really two or three works mashed up into one, which leaves the book feeling more disjointed than it need be had it concentrated solely on the subject of prayer.

P.S. My edition is subtitled ‘The Aesthetical Works - the observant amongst you will notice that this should be ‘The Ascetical Works’, focussed as the series is on the preliminary stages of the spiritual life.

The Glories of Mary, widely regarded as Saint Alphonsus Liguori's finest masterpiece, has for two and a half centuries stood as one of the Catholic Church's greatest expressions of devotion to the Blessed Virgin. Written as a defense of Our Lady at a time when Jansenistic writers were ridiculing Marian devotion, this classic work combines numerous citations from the Fathers and Doctors of the Church with Saint Alphonsus' intense personal piety to produce a timeless treasury of teachings, prayers, and practices.… (more)
