  • Autobiography
    Crostarosan Texts and Studies Maria Celeste Crostarosa Autobiography San Gerardo Publishers MARIA CELESTE CROSTAROSA Autobiography edited by Sabatino Majorano and Alessandra Simeoni This edition of the Autobiography of Maria Celeste Crostarosa has had a long and complex journey. Therefore we feel the need to thank all those people whose contributions have made it possible to bring this work to its conclusion, and most particularly: the Redemptorists - Emilio Lage, for his suggestions and for making himself fraternally available to read the manuscript; - Antonio Marrazzo for the photographic documentation, compiled with love and competence; - the Redemptoristine Sr. Filomena Occini for her patient commitment to the electronic transcription of Mother M. C. Crostarosa’s writings; - to Mrs. Maria Rosaria Taurozzi for her diligent correction of the manuscripts and drafts. A special thank you goes also to the Neapolitan Province of the Redemptorists, and to their Superior, Antonio di Masi, for his encouragement and financial aid. With the same appreciation, we would like to express our gratitude to the staff of the Valsele Printing House, beginning with their Director, P. Antonio Pasquarelli, for the dedication with which they have made this book possible. English Translator’s Note: I would certainly like to endorse all the acknowledgements recorded above at the beginning of the Italian critical edition, particularly in the case of Father Emilio Lage, without whose help and support this English translation could not have been achieved. Nevertheless, any remaining errors and lapses of judgement are my own. I would also like to record my thanks to the Redemptoristine Nuns of Australia for their unswerving support in what has been quite a challenge, in particular the Prioress, Mother Mary Teresa.

  • The Spiritual Songs of Saint Alphonsus M. Liguori(*)
    SHCSR 61 (2013) 407-423 STEFANIA NANNI THE SPIRITUAL SONGS OF SAINT ALPHONSUS M. LIGUORI (*) In 1801, the popular songbook published in Naples, edited by the famous Maestro Mattia del Piano, introduced to the public the «many beautiful and devout songs in the Tuscan language and the Neapolitan dialect» that St. Alphonsus Maria Liguori «taught people everywhere to sing» 1. It had been thirteen years since the death of the great bishop, missionary and reformer of moral theology. Thanks to the publication of various biographies and the beginning of the canonical process for Alphonsus’ beati- fication and eventual canonization, new evidence surfaced to celebrate his fame «not only as a saint but also as a literary man» and as a «connoisseur of fine music». In that pastoral and apostolic life of Saint Alphonsus, mu- sical expression was a forthright language of spiritual conver- sion, capable of renewing practices previously established (by Oratorians, Jesuits, and the Pious Workers 2). Gradually Alphon- sus had expanded his repertoire of spiritual songs and greatly increased the scope of their use. (*) The present essays constitutes a revisiting of the article: La musica dei poveri by S. Nanni and P. Saturno, published in La musica dei semplici. L’altra Controroforma , ed. by S. Nanni, Roma 2012, 261-275. 1 Mattia DEL PIANO , Canzoncine da aggiungersi al manual canzoniere inti- tolato Il freno della lingua ovvero Laudi Spirituali composte nell’idioma toscano, e napoletano per lo popolo oltre a quelle aggiunte nella seconda edizione , Napoli 1801. (This was an enlarged version of a work by the same author and title published in Naples in 1729 and in 1788).

  • A Timeline of St Alphonsus Liguori's Life 1
    A Timeline of St Alphonsus Liguori’s Life CHAPTER ONE: CHRISTIAN LAYMAN September 27, 1696: Alphonsus is born to Giuseppe de Liguori and Anna Cavalieri, their first child. Since Alphonsus’ nearsightedness and asthma prevent him from following his own naval career, Don Giuseppe provides a thorough and extremely rigorous education for his son. This leaves Alphonsus proficient in music, art, architecture, mathematics, science, several languages, and civil and canonical law. 1713: At the age of 17, Alphonsus completes his education and becomes a successful lawyer. He enters the social whirl of the Neapolitan nobility, and his father seeks a lucrative marriage for him. 1715: Alphonsus joins the Sodality of Our Lady of the Visitation and embraces their ministry of caring for the poor. He nurses patients at the Hospital for the Incurables. 1722: During a Holy Week retreat with the Vincentian Fathers, Alphonsus decides to become a priest. Neapolitan law forbids an eldest son to enter the priesthood without his father’s permission: Don Giuseppe is violently opposed. 1723: Alphonsus loses a major court case amid rumors that his opponents bribed the judge, and resolves to leave the legal profession. His father finally agrees to let him enter the priesthood if he becomes a diocesan priest and lives at home. Alphonsus is assigned to the church of Sant’Angelo a Segno for his formation.
