Saint Alphonsus Liguori, founder of the Redemptorists, provides programs of prayers and meditations for thirty-one visits to the Blessed Sacrament. Each day he offers devotional and inspirational material for eucharistic adoration, spiritual communion, and prayer. At the end of each visit Alphonsus gives material for a visit to the Blessed Virgin Mary. The saint also includes two hymns. His book draws widely from the writings of the saints. Alphonsus relinquished a career as a lawyer in order to respond to his vocation to study for the priesthood. In Naples he worked especially with the poor, and he established evening chapels for young people in the city. While serving as bishop he wrote many books and articles. Alphonsus was canonized by Pope Gregory XVI in 1839 and declared a Doctor of the Church in 1871.

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.
