Abandonment to Divine Providence

J. Rami�re

E.J. Strickland

""The Rev. Jean Pierre de Caussade was one of the most remarkable spiritual writers of the Society of Jesus in France in the 18th Century. His death took place at Toulouse in 1751. His works have gone through many editions and have been republished, and translated into several foreign languages. The present book gives an English translation of the tenth French Edition of Fr. de Caussade's ""Abandon ? la Providence Divine,"" edited, to the great benefit of many souls, by Fr. H. Rami?re, S. J. [...] ""It is divided into two unequal parts, the first containing a treatise on total abandonment to Divine Providence, and the second, letters of direction for persons leading a spiritual life. ""The ""Treatise"" comprises two different aspects of Abandonment to Divine Providence; one as a virtue, common and necessary to all Christians, the other as a state, proper to souls who have made a special practice of abandonment to the holy will of God."" - Introduction

Klasické dílo osmnáctého století se stalo "učebnicí" mnoha světců (Terezie z Lisieux). Termín "milost přítomného okamžiku" vyjadřuje moudré uspořádání stálého napětí mezi aktivitou a pasivitou v hledání Boží vůle. Dílo se stále vydává v různých překladech.
