In the spiritual life, we need a central idea: something so basic
and comprehensive that it encompasses everything else. According to
Carmelite Father Wilfrid Stinissen, surrender to God, abandonment
to the One who loves us completely, is that central reality. The
life of Jesus shows us the centrality of abandonment, for it is
truly the beginning and the end of his mission on earth.
In this simple but profound book, Father Stinissen distinguishes
three degrees or stages in abandonment. The first stage consists of
accepting and assenting to God's will as it manifests itself in all
circumstances of life. The second is actively doing God's will at
every moment of one's life. In the third stage, abandonment to God
is so complete that one has become a tool in God's hands. At this
stage it is no longer I who do God's will, but God who accomplishes
his will through me.
Spanning the course of a year, this collection of 365 brief daily
readings/meditations beckons the modern reader, living his daily
life, to enter into a period of silent reflection and recollection,
to calm the racing mind and center unsettled hearts. This volume
invites the spiritual seeker into the discipline of daily
meditation, offering the benefit of God's peace from the spiritual
texts found inside.
