By Casey Chalk, Catholic World Report - Thankfully some Catholics are seeking to rectify this sad disparity. Dan Burke’s Finding Peace in the Storm: Reflections on St. Alphonsus Liguori’s Uniformity with God’s Will and Stephen Kokx’s St. Alphonsus for the 21st Century: A Handbook for Holiness aim to bring the brilliance of St. Alphonsus to contemporary Catholics. Their efforts are long overdue, contributing to what I hope may in time become a broader movement promoting Liguorian studies, similar to the academic interest in Augustinianism or Thomism.
