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.
French writer JEAN PIERRE DE CAUSSADE (1675-1751) believed that the
present moment is holy and that people should abandon themselves to
present, a stance that is it stark contrast to the Catholic focus
on the future and life after death. For de Caussade, living in the
moment meant having a complete trust and faith in God, for God's
will defined and guided all things. The practical advice contained
in his guidebook for the faithful was originally a series of
letters written for the Nuns of the Visitation of Nancy, meant to
help them navigate the confusing and difficult work of spiritual
enlightenment, and comes together here in two distinct parts, one
for the theoretical foundations of abandoning oneself to the
present moment and one with practical advice on how to live such a
life. Though a departure from the standard Christian perspective,
Abandonment to Divine Providence remains a deeply spiritual work
with a message that many Christians may find freeing and inspiring.
