Discover the inspiring life of St. Alphonsus Rodriguez, a Spanish Jesuit lay brother whose life took him from the world of commerce to a life of profound humility, prayer, and service. Before entering religious life, Alphonsus worked as a wool merchant. After experiencing deep personal tragedy, he turned toward a life of profound humility and prayer and eventually became a Jesuit lay brother and doorkeeper in Majorca.
His life is a beautiful reminder that sanctity can be found in ordinary work, suffering, humility, and faithful service. This 1945 biography by Mabel Farnum bears an imprimatur from Moses E. Kiley, Archbishop of Milwaukee, dated June 1, 1945.
The book has a tight binding, bright, clean pages, and a bit of wear on the corners of the cover. There are also two small paint(?)marks on the exterior back cover.
Please review all photos, as I have tried to accurately represent this vintage book and its condition.
Perfect for
✝️ devotees of the saints
📚 Catholic home libraries
🙏 readers drawn to lives of humility and prayer
🎁 a thoughtful gift for a Catholic reader
