The autobiography of St. Anthony Mary Claret: Priest, missionary, archbishop, and founder of the Congregation of Missionaries, Sons of the Immaculate Heart of Mary [Paperback]

Antonio Mary Claret (Author), Louis Joseph Moore (Translator)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 1989

Written reluctantly and only under obedience to his religious superiors, this magnificent work bares the heart and soul of a great and heroic saint of the magnitude of St. John Bosco and the Curonly details the apostolic techniques which proved so successful in saving souls, but also explains the five virtues necessary for a fruitful ministry, namely, humility, poverty, meekness, modesty, and mortification. St. Anthony Mary Claret was a living example of each of them. He tells us that Our Lord told him that the three great judgements would soon descend upon the world. 1.) Communism and an increase of Protestantism; 2.) the love of pleasures and money, and independence of reason and will; 3.) great wars, with horrible consequences. In this powerful work, St. Anthony speaks out on all the ills of his time which are even more applicable to today. He covers the root causes and solutions. Provides each reader with the knowledge necessary - for the mind, the heart, and the soul - to combat the forces of humanism, secularism, liberalism, naturalism, indifference and luxury so predominant today. If ever a book needed to be studied carefully by Catholics of our time, it is this very important and powerful Autobiography of St. Anthony Mary Claret (1807-1870).
