Saint Alphonsus de Liguori, the founder of the Redemptorist Congregation, wrote these Visits in the year 1745. Their publication was like casting fire upon the earth, which immediately inflamed divine love in the hearts of humanity. Since that time these Visits have been translated into many languages. This present edition is a thought translation of the original Italian. No radical changes have been made.
Variations appear in the word order and sentence structure.
Unnecessary repetition and irrelevant examples have been eliminated. The translator's purpose has been to transpose the genius of the Italian language into the American idiom. It is hoped that his effort will enhance the fervor of present lovers of our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament and increase the number of those who visit him lovingly each day. Paperback, May 1997, Liguori Publications Based on the gospel accounts of Mary's life and words, author Kristen Johnson Ingram offers you an opportunity to make Mary's thoughts into six personal prayers and a Rule of Life. Brief, but filled with a holy learning.
