The Practice of the Love of Jesus Christ (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781926777139)

In The Practice of the Love of Jesus Christ, Saint Alphonsus Liguori points out the practical wisdom contained in St. Paul's meditation on love in 1 Corinthians 13. We should love Jesus, he says, no matter what happens, and we should be kind and without envy in our everyday dealings. The reader will learn the benefits of desire, resolution, prayer, and frequent communion. Those who love Jesus are humble and forsake personal ambition. They understand why love of Jesus requires a total love, free of attachment to worldly things. Our will must be conformed to the will of God. Among other things, this means bearing all events that happen to us. But there is a reward: God loves those who place their trust in him. This edition of St Alphonsus Liguori's classic work includes a Novena to the Holy Spirit and prayers to obtain the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit.
