The Sacrament of the Present Moment by Jean-Pierre De Caussade
The Sacrament of the Present Moment is the three hundred-year-old classic of spiritual guidance and enlightenment by Jean-Pierre de Caussade, ordained member of the Society of Jesus. In this wise, hopeful, and powerfully stirring masterwork of Christian thought and daily practice, de Caussade encourages a selfless abandonment to God as a means of achieving grace and conquering pride and ego. Each day is a sacrament, the author assures us, and the lessons and wisdom of The Sacrament of the Present Moment can better enable us to hear God's voice as He speaks to us, always, with love.
In 1708, Jean-Pierre de Caussade was ordained a member of the Society of Jesus in Toulouse, France. He was named spiritual director of the Jesuit retreat home in Nancy in 1731, where he oversaw the spiritual supervision of the Visitation Nuns. This book is made up of notes from his addresses to nuns. Kitty Muggeridge, the wife of novelist and journalist Malcolm Muggeridge, is a well-known translator.
