In this episode of The Catholic Bookworm, Kiki Latimer interviews Fr. Dennis Billy, CSsR, on his book Holy Exercises: St. Alphonsus de Liguori and the Spirituality of Practice. (November 19, 2024) The purpose of Alphonsian spirituality is to preach the Gospel by our words and actions. The conversion of the world presupposes our own inner conversion of heart which, in turn, presupposes developing heartfelt spiritual practices that make a life of radical personal and communal conversion possible. This book focuses on a number of such practices that Alphonsus found to be helpful aids for his own spiritual journey and that he wished to share with others. They do not take the place of attending Mass and praying the Breviary, but rather complement them by helping us to deepen out love for Christ and walking the way of holiness.

Happy Feast of St. Alphonsus Liguori! #Feast #SaintAlphonsusLiguori #PrayForUs

A young man visited a hermit with a reputation for great holiness, seeking to learn from him, and this holy desert father taught him many methods of prayer. As the implications of his question’s answer sank in, the young man became angry and demanded, “Then why are you giving me all these different ways of praying?” With great #wisdom and #patience, the desert hermit explained, “To make sure you’re #awake when the #sun #rises.” We don’t earn our salvation, nor do we #discover #God on our own, but we’re called to be awake when He appears in our lives. This means we must #persevere in our effort to live out our faith and do #GodsWill each and every day. It’s easy to make one great #sacrifice, if we know it’s the last time anything is asked of us; it’s harder to make many smaller sacrifices, day after day, without an apparent end in sight. Quite often, this is the nature of our #crosstobear: continuing to go to Church even as most of our family members and friends have stopped going; keeping up with our #BibleStudy and #piety even when we’re #tired or #discouraged; keeping our #commitment to do what’s #morallyRight even though few others seem to care; keeping #charity and #goodwill when we’re rarely #thanked or #acknowledged. It would be so easy to #GiveUp but that is not #Christ’s way. He calls us to #stayAwake and #beReady and #promises His #blessings to those who remain #faithful to Him. “He who does not acquire the love of God will scarcely persevere in the grace of God, for it is very difficult to renounce sin merely through fear of chastisement.” #SaintAlphonsusLiguori 🍎 #saintwisdom If you are feeling the pull to give in and give up, remember Our Lord’s Gift to us on the cross: eternal life where the sun never sets and has no more need to rise. #meditationswithsaints #livinglent #lentenmeditations #temptation #virtue #saintleothegreat #saintwisdom #wordoftheday #wotd #scriptureoftheday #sotd #saintwisdom #wakingeve #bissisterhood #nevergiveup https://www.instagram.com/wakingeve/p/BvAU0cmg0OS/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=fnc26aclcncp
