Abandonment To Divine Providence

About this book

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 spiritual perfection and emphasizes the importance of surrendering oneself entirely to God's will. Father de Caussade argues that true spiritual growth can only be achieved through complete abandonment to God's providence, which means trusting in God's plan for one's life and accepting all circumstances as part of His divine plan. He also emphasizes the importance of humility, detachment, and obedience in the spiritual life. The book is divided into two parts. The first part explores the concept of abandonment and how it can be applied in daily life, while the second part focuses on the practical aspects of living a life of abandonment. Abandonment to Divine Providence has been highly influential in the Catholic Church and has been praised for its simplicity and accessibility to both laypeople and clergy. It is considered a timeless classic of Christian spirituality and continues to inspire readers to this day.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.
