Synopsis

Ever wonder why 'bad' things happen to good people? God said, “My ways are not your ways.” Divine providence is consoling when we understand why and how God works all things to our eternal good. This little book teaches us how to surrender ourselves to God's holy will and thus obtain happiness here and in the next life. St. Alphonsus writes: “a single bad book will be sufficient to cause the destruction of a monastery.” Pope Pius XII wrote in 1947 at the beatification of Blessed Maria Goretti: “There rises to Our lips the cry of the Saviour: 'Woe to the world because of scandals!' (Matthew 18:7). Woe to those who consciously and deliberately spread corruption-in novels, newspapers, magazines, theaters, films, in a world of immodesty!” We at St. Pius X Press are calling for a crusade of good books. We want to restore 1,000 old Catholic books to the market. We ask for your assistance and prayers. This book is a photographic reprint of the original The original has been inspected and many imperfections in the existing copy have been corrected. At Saint Pius X Press our goal is to remain faithful to the original in both photographic reproductions and in textual reproductions that are reprinted. Photographic reproductions are given a page by page inspection, whereas textual reproductions are proofread to correct any errors in reproduction.

About the Author

(1588-1657)     Born at Metz in 1588, Jean-Baptiste Saint-Jure was a Catholic priest who in 1604 entered the Society of Jesus (or Jesuit order) at Nancy and for a while taught grammar and philosophy. He served as rector of a school he founded in Alençon  and later presided over schools in Amiens, Orleans and Paris. He oversaw the spiritual direction of many prominent mystics, among them Baron of Renty, the Cloistered Dominican nuns of Paris, and Mother Jeanne of the Angels, who was Mother superior of the Loudun Ursuline convent at the time of the Loudun possessions.      As a prolific and influential writer, Saint-Jure was well known among the Catholic community of France. He died in Paris in 1657.
