Abandonment To Divine Providence - Hardcover

by Father de Caussade (Author)

Abandonment To Divine Providence is a spiritual classic written by Father Jean-Pierre de Caussade, a French Jesuit priest, in the 18th century. The book is a guide to living a spiritual life and surrendering oneself completely to God's will. It emphasizes the importance of trusting in God's providence and accepting whatever happens in life as part of His plan. The book is divided into two parts. The first part discusses the concept of abandonment and the importance of surrendering oneself to God's will. It explains that true spiritual growth comes from accepting whatever happens in life with humility and trust in God's love and wisdom. The second part of the book provides practical advice on how to live a life of abandonment. It explores topics such as prayer, the sacraments, and the virtues of faith, hope, and love. Throughout the book, Father de Caussade uses anecdotes and examples from the lives of saints and ordinary people to illustrate his points. He encourages readers to embrace the present moment and to see everything as an opportunity to grow closer to God. The book has been praised for its simplicity and clarity, and it has become a beloved spiritual classic for Christians of all denominations.God continues to speak to-day as He spoke in former times to our fathers when there were no directors as at present, nor any regular method of direction. Then all spirituality was comprised in fidelity to the designs of God, for there was no regular system of guidance in the spiritual life to explain it in detail, nor so many instructions, precepts and examples as there are now. Doubtless our present difficulties render this necessary, but it was not so in the first ages when souls were more simple and straightforward.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
