“A great gift.”

 

“Since I was a young boy growing up in Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish in Brooklyn, New York, I have had a long familiarity with Visits to the Most Holy Sacrament and to Most Holy Mary, the classic short work by St. Alphonsus Liguori. This contemporary translation by Fr. Dennis Billy, C.Ss.R., is most faithful to the prayers and meditations of Alphonsus, while giving the reader practical and focused steps to deepening an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ in the Blessed Sacrament, and with Mary, the Mother of God. Building on the work of St. Alphonsus, Fr. Billy has given a great gift to all who seek to experience the great gift God has given us in the Blessed Sacrament.”

“A beautiful English translation.”

 

“This beautiful English translation of Visits to the Most Holy Sacrament and to Most Holy Mary captures the simplicity and passion of St. Alphonsus’s devotion to the Blessed Sacrament. It makes a great classic of popular Catholic devotion accessible to Christians of the twenty-first century, especially through the introductions and reflective questions that accompany each section.”

“A spiritual classic.”

 

“This beautiful devotional manual of St. Alphonsus compresses some major themes of late Baroque spirituality into a single whole: the practice of mental prayer, vivid awareness of the real presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist, and devotion to the Blessed Mother. Rev. Dennis Billy has retrieved for us a spiritual classic with his insightful introduction, instructive commentary, and a clear and strong translation.”
