Texts from Saint Alphonsus of Liguori organized by Brother John Baptist Coyle to be meditated on every day of the liturgical year.

Morning Meditations

The original title of this book is "Meditations and Readings for every day of the year from the writings of St. Alphonsus" in 4 Volumes, each volume composed by 2 books. The 8 books together have over 1200 pages.

First book was published in 1923 by Father John Baptiste Coyle C.SS.R. . Who worked for many years to organize and publish the writings of this great doctor of the church.

> It was a labour of many years but, needless to say, a labour of love.

Every day father Coyle proposes 3 readings:

1. Morning Meditation
2. Evening Meditation
3. Spiritual Reading

In this digital form, we decided to make the 3 types of readings as if they were 3 different books, since the subject of the Morning Meditation of one day, is continued in the Morning Meditation of the next day. The same happens for Evening Meditation and Spiritual Reading.

This work has been already published by [Sensus Fidelium](https://sensusfidelium.com/meditations/st-alphonsus/st-alphonsus-daily-meditations/) and by [Religious Bookshelf Team](https://www.religiousbookshelf.com/meditations-and-readings/).

A Escola dos Santos

Depois da Bíbila é considerado o livro mais lido dentro da Cristandade. Consiste em uma coleção de pensamentos para a perfeição Cristã.

Imitação de Cristo

A Imitação de Cristo, é um livro devocional católico escrito por volta de 1420, com ênfase na vida interior e afastamento das coisas mundanas. É considerado o livro mais lido na Cristandade depois da Bíblia.
 
Muitos santos tiveram grande progresso espiritual com sua leitura. 

São Francisco de Sales, recomenda este livro para meditação em seu livro Filotéia (Introdução à Vida Devota), assim como Dom Chautard no "A Alma de Todo Apostolado". 

Santa Teresa de Lisieux nos diz (em História de uma Alma) que "durante muitos anos" este foi o único livro que lhe ajudava a progredir espiritualmente. É conhecido que Santo Inácio de Loyola e São Tomás More também liam com frequência.
 
É definitivamente um excelente livro para meditação.
