St. Alphonsus de Liguori, the saintly founder of the Redemptorist Congregation, is famed for his romantic and beautiful descriptions of the lives of Our Lord and His Holy Mother. Drawing from the Fathers, the Mystics and from his own wealth of piety, St. Alphonsus famously wrote in a manner designed to cut straight to the heart, and to provoke a response of deeper conversion and contrition in the soul of the reader. In this work, for the first time, the collected meditations of this great saint have been attached to the individual mysteries of the Holy Rosary, indeed, to the individual beads of each mystery of the Holy Rosary. In this treasure trove of contemplative material, you will find hundreds of carefully selected passages to aid you and your family in the devout recitation of Our Lady’s Holy Rosary. The book covers both the 15 Traditional Mysteries of the Rosary as well as the Mysteries of Light. An additional set of mysteries, the Hopeful Mysteries, is also included, as a means of contemplating the events in the life of Our Lady prior to the Annunciation and her prophetic foreshadowing.

After she died, St. Theresa of Avila appeared to one of her nuns and said: "There should be no difference, as far as purity and love are concerned, between the blessed in Heaven and the faithful on earth. though we are perfectly happy and you are suffering. What the Divine Essence is to us in Heaven, the Blessed Sacrament should be to you on earth." "Here, then," says St. Alphonsus, "is our heaven on earth - the Most Blessed Sacrament." This book was conceived and written to help us grow in the knowledge and love of God and in appreciation for what He has done for us by giving us the Blessed Sacrament. For each of the 31 days of the month, St. Alphonsus provides for us a "Visit to Our Lord" - which is a brief meditation on and a fervent prayer of love toward Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament. Each Visit to Our Lord is followed by a "Visit to Our Lady." The latter are short meditations on and prayers of great confidence in her powerful help - even for the most wretched and forsaken on sinners. At each Visit, the reader is to make an "Act of Spiritual Communion," which will help enflame his heart with greater love of God. Through this little book, St. Alphonsus leads a person to appreciate Our Lord's great love for us in the Blessed Sacrament, to love Him in return, and to consecrate his life to Him. Visits to the Blessed Sacrament by St. Alphonsus Liguori is a perennial favorite among Catholic prayerbooks, as well as one of the most famous and best-loved Catholic books ever published.
