Trustful Surrender to Divine Providence: The Secret of Peace and Happiness (Aziloth Books) - Paperback

by Jean Baptiste Saint Jure (Author), Saint Claude de la Colombière (Author)

Unabridged, with authors' biographical sketches

This selection of inspirational works by two highly respected Jesuits from the late renaissance is a guide for those who seek "the peace which passeth all understanding."

While Saint-Jure preceded de la Colombiere by some fifty years their messages are perfectly aligned. Addressing thorny questions such as 'why does God allow evil?' and 'should we pray for money and material well-being?', the authors give clear answers and conclude with what they believe to be a universal truth: namely that, man's sins apart, God is responsible for all that happens to us and as God loves us and has our interests at heart, everything - joyous or painful - is for our own good. Trusting acceptance of this belief will allow us to perceive the trials and tribulations of our lives in a positive way and will thus bring great serenity.

Trustful Surrender to Divine Providence is a little gem of a book whose message accords with many other non-Christian mystical disciplines and, as such, is a valuable lodestar for all who wish to progress on the path no matter what their religious provenance.
