Canon Alfred Weber Herald of the Holy Gospel

$5.00
No tax

Passionate about the Holy Gospel from his youth, Canon Alfred Weber (1843-1912) devoted his life to the Sacred Book, whose every word ought to be infinitely more precious to us than all the riches in the world.  He constituted himself as its herald, its ardent apostle.  His priestly heart yearned to see the whole world return to the Gospel.  To make its reading easier for the people, he combined the four Gospels in a single text.  This admirable work not only won him praise from the Holy See, but sold millions of copies and sowed in countless souls the love of the Incarnate Word.
