Abandonment To Divine Providence is a spiritual classic written by Father Jean-Pierre de Caussade, a Jesuit priest and spiritual director. The book is a collection of letters and spiritual teachings that encourage readers to surrender themselves completely to God's will and embrace the present moment with faith and trust.The book is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on the concept of abandonment, which Father de Caussade defines as ""the complete surrender of oneself to God."" He argues that this surrender is essential for spiritual growth and that it requires a deep trust in God's providence, even in the face of suffering and adversity.The second part of the book offers practical advice for living a life of abandonment. Father de Caussade emphasizes the importance of living in the present moment and accepting whatever comes our way as God's will. He also encourages readers to cultivate a deep interior silence and to seek God's presence in all things.Throughout the book, Father de Caussade draws on the teachings of the saints and mystics, as well as his own experiences as a spiritual director. His writing is clear and direct, and his message is both challenging and inspiring.Overall, Abandonment To Divine Providence is a timeless spiritual classic that offers readers a profound and practical guide to living a life of faith and surrender to God's will.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.
