Biography
St. Alphonsus Liguori was born in Naples and trained in law before dedicating himself fully to the priesthood. He founded the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer to evangelize especially the poor and abandoned.
His importance for Catholic faith appears in moral theology, simple preaching, and trust in God's mercy. As a Doctor of the Church, he helped many believers unite truth, conscience, and hope.
Alphonsus inspires us to seek holiness without scruple or negligence, forming conscience through prayer, study, confession, and concrete decisions of love for God.
