He became a recognizable lawyer after going through law school at the age of sixteen, but later decided to leave law in favor of giving his salvation more attention. Alphonsus joined the Oratory of St. Philip Neri as a seminarian and was ordained in 1726, when he was thirty. The homilies he gave had the special ability of converting those who had fallen away from the faith. He also founded the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer, and authored such works as \u003ci\u003eThe Glories of Mary\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe True Spouse of Jesus Christ\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eAttaining Salvation\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Blessed Virgin Mary\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ePreparation for Death Abridged\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWhat Will Hell Be Like?\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Twelve Steps to Holiness and Salvation\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Way of the Cross\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cbr\u003e After being a bishop for over a decade, St. Alphonsus Liguori died on the first of August, 1787. He was canonized by Pope Gregory XVI in 1839, and declared a Doctor of the Church in 1871. His feast is celebrated on August 1.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tan Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42663831339245,"sku":"9780895551740","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_b290147b-e622-49a3-ade0-1b1c2f8de253.jpg?v=1649396788","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/preparation-for-death-considerations-on-the-eternal-maxims-9780895551740","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
