The will of God has nothing but sweetness, grace, and treasures for the surrendered soul God speaks to us through every moment of every day. By facing ourselves honestly through active authentic contemplation, this timeless classic shows us the way towards comfort and fulfillment, and a life suffused with grace as we carry out God's purpose. These spiritual reflections on the mystery of faith provide wisdom, hope, and inspiration -- guidance for daily living and relationship with God, and an invitation to open our hearts, and learn to slow down and live life in the sacrament of the present moment. I count myself blessed that, at an important juncture in my life, a wise elder introduced me to the writings of Caussade. From them I gained not only the guidance I needed to traverse a difficult terrain, but also a permanent element in my outlook on life: an appreciation of the operation of God's providence and my need to be receptive of that providence despite the lack of full understanding and the pressure of contrary desires. --Michael Casey, O.C.S.O. from the Introduction.…

God speaks to us through every moment of every day.
By facing ourselves honestly through active authentic contemplation, this timeless classic shows us the way towards comfort and fulfillment, and a life suffused with grace as we carry out God's purpose.
These spiritual reflections on the mystery of faith provide wisdom, hope, and inspiration -- guidance for daily living and relationship with God, and an invitation to open our hearts, and learn to slow down and live life in the “sacrament of the present moment.”
“I count myself blessed that, at an important juncture in my life, a wise elder introduced me to the writings of Caussade. From them I gained not only the guidance I needed to traverse a difficult terrain, but also a permanent element in my outlook on life: an appreciation of the operation of God’s providence and my need to be receptive of that providence despite the lack of full understanding and the pressure of contrary desires.” —Michael Casey, O.C.S.O. from the Introduction
