Uniformity with God's Will & The Practice of the Love of Jesus Christ

I had never heard of St. Alphonse, and I’m not quite sure how I stumbled onto this book, but I am glad that I did. I found this to be a rewarding read. It has great value to many persons, including those who enjoy reading about such topics as religion, manifestation, mysticism, psychic development. This book puts into perspective how we are supposed to live our lives, and what the focus of our lives should be. This is a book that could be mined by a Catholic priest for many Sunday sermons. It has practical, real-life applications – something that is often bypassed in Catholic churches. I myself have been witness to numerous pointless, inane sermons that fail to apply Christ’s teachings to our everyday lives. I have heard both priests and ministers speak in platitudes, and/or mindless quoting of Biblical verse. St. Alphonse writes in an English that is, at times, archaic; however, he quotes many important figures in Catholic history such as St. Theresa, St. John Chrysostum, St. Francis de Sales etc. When he quotes these other saints, his quotes are relevant and supportive of the points he is making. Among some of the topics St. Alphonse addresses are prayer (St. Niles, abbot, used to say that our petitions should be, not that our wishes be done, but that God’s holy will should be fulfilled in us and by us). He addresses life’s difficulties in one section (Reflect that all the sins of your past wicked life happened because you wandered from the path of God’ will. For the future, embrace God’s good pleasure and say to him in every happening “Yes, Father, for so it hat seemed good in thy sight (61) When anything disagreeable happens, remember it comes from God and say at once, “This comes from God” and be at peace: “I was dumb and opened not my mouth because thou hast done it.”). He writes of the realities of truly living a Christ-like existence (A person that loves Jesus Christ is anxious to be treated like Jesus Christ, ---poor, persecuted, and despised Dr. Wayne Dyer and other authors have written of the negative health effects of irritation. St. Alphonse makes the following comments about this topic: (We shall find it a great service to arm ourselves in prayer against every chance of irritation, that may befall us. In order not then to give way to culpable resentment, we should always remember that saying of St. Francis de Sales: “I never remember to have been angry without afterwards regretting it.”) To sum up, Uniformity with God’s Will is an excellent and powerful book that should be read by anyone who is interested in the topics I’ve mentioned. I’m very happy to have been “led” to this book.

A great book to meditate on and a wonderful reminder that our God deserves to be loved with all our hearts all our spirit and all our strength and from that love God will provide us the ability to love our neighbors. A very timely and relevant message for our current turbulent times. Praise be to God most high and to the Son Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

The Uniformity with Gods Will &The Practice of Love of Jesus Christ puts into perspective the difference between the will of society and the will of God and how we use our own will to choose between the two. This is one of the better books that I have read in terms of providing the spiritual guidance needed for those who do not have a spiritual director. Although society often drags us away from the precepts of Christ, St. Alphonsus Liguori brings us back into the heart of God and, it is there, we recognize the real truth to be lived in our life. For those who are serious about their spiritual growth, I would highly recommend adding this book to your library as a resource to be read many times.

I expected not to like this book because of St. Liguori's emphatic Marian devotion in his other works. But I loved this book. He quotes many saints to make his points. This is the kind of devotional book that you could read over and over . I love the depth.

It is not only of great book to read by to use in ones own spirituality to become closer to God.

Great book for true faith if you want to share in the suffering of Christ. God will lead you with the inspiration of St Alphonsus. To seek the will of God in your personal life & to love the presence of God who is always there with you.

This is a wonderful book ! It is full of beautiful and inspirational quotes from many different saints, especially St. Francis de Sales (one of my favorites!) St. Alphonsus Liguori can help you deepen your love for Our Lord and His holy will.

If you only read one book for spiritual growth, read this little booklet. It is a very simple concept, but very hard to actually put into practice. However, St. Alphonsus knows what he is talking about and gives you a clear outline of what to do if you want to advance in holiness. I cannot recommend this enough. I keep re-reading it just to remind myself all of the points.
