Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Victories of the Martyrs, Vol. 9: Or, the Lives of the Most Celebrated Martyrs of the Church St. Alphonsus was in his eightieth year when he wrote the Victories of the Martyrs, which appeared in the year 1776. He had just been relieved by Pope Pius VI. of the burden of the episcopate, which weighed so heavily upon him, but not of the burden of his Congregation, which furnished him with a retreat that was most laborious. Moreover, he had to compose this work in the midst of the greatest sufferings, says Father Tannoia. The kingdom of Naples, he adds, received this new fruit of the zeal of our saint with general satisfaction; and in the opinion of Canon Fabius Massa, the Church was to derive the greatest profit from it, nothing being better suited, especially in those calamitous times, to strengthen the faith and to enkindle piety. But the reading of such a book is not less useful in our age, and will be so in every age. The constancy of the faithful will always be tried, piety will always be persecuted, by the enemies of Jesus Christ: All that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. Other sufferings will also not be wanting; for the road leading to heaven s sown with all kinds of tribulations: Through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God.
