St. Alphonsus Liguori
Day 1
August 2nd.
-
Admirable St. Alphonsus, of whom, when an infant, it was foretold that you would be a Saint, and live long and do great things for the vineyard of the Lord; and who, by the constant practice of solid piety and profound humility amidst the greatest success in pursuit of learning and science, from your childhood edified all: obtain for us grace to abhor everything which might contaminate our souls, and to edify our neighbours, by making a good use of all the accidents of life, detaching our hearts from the world, and aspiring after Heaven. Gloria.
-
Admirable St. Alphonsus, who disregarding the contrary suggestions of flesh and blood, consecrated yourself to God in the ecclesiastical and religious state; who endured with the most unalterable resignation the sneers of a malignant world, and the trial of the most painful infirmities: obtain for us grace always so powerfully to resist the suggestions of our enemies, that we may faithfully follow the Divine inspirations, and practice with perfection, all Christian virtues, and never be overcome by the contradictions of the world. Gloria.
-
Admirable St. Alphonsus, who wast favoured by God with the most miraculous powers; who, when made Bishop of Agatho became the edification of all your spiritual subjects, by being all things to all men, that you might gain all to Jesus Christ; by that deep humility, which made you think yourself incapable of sustaining the weight of the episcopacy, and made you desire to be always treated as the least of all: obtain for us grace to consider ourselves, at all times, unworthy of Divine favours, and to labour earnestly to make our election to glory certain, that after having endeavoured to imitate you on earth, we may attain to a participation of your glory in Heaven. Gloria.
