Description

"Saint Alphonsus, on his bed of death, had pressed to his lips the picture of Saint Gerard."
The Exemplary Life of Saint Gerard Majella by Father Oliver Rodie Vassall-Phillips recounts the career of the Redemptorist lay brother whose sanctity was formed in poverty, obedience, and long-suffering. The narrative follows Saint Gerard (The Mothers' Saint - Wonderworker - Champion of Children) from his early years at Muro Lucano through his admission to the Congregation, his daily duties, the severe trials he endured, and the reputation for sanctity that surrounded him both in life and after death. The author relies on early testimony and Redemptorist sources, includes quotations from the saint himself, and presents the facts of Gerard's life with reserve and fidelity.
Includes full letters and quotes from Saint Gerard, as well as his personal rule of life (resolutions).
