Overview

Simplicity: the sure path to God! The saints assure us that simplicity is the virtue most likely to draw us closer to God and make us more like Him. No wonder Jesus praised the little children and the pure of heart! In them, He recognized the goodness that arises from an untroubled simplicity of life, a simplicity which in the saints is completely focused on its true center, God. That's easy to know, simple to say, but hard to achieve. For our lives are complicated and our personalities too. (We even make our prayers and devotions more complicated than they need be!) In these pages, Fr. Raoul Plus provides a remedy for the even the most tangled lives. Relying on the words of Jesus and the lives of the saints, Fr. Plus maps out a sure path to the simplicity which Jesus praised, a simplicity that bestows on all of us who seek it happiness, courage, and inner peace, no matter how complicated our circumstances may be or how crowded our days. Holy simplicity. With the wise help of Fr. Plus, you will soon savor the strength that simplicity brings . . . and the abiding joy. With his help, you can attain it.

Author Information

Fr. Raoul Plus, S.J. (1882-1958), wrote more than forty books to help Christians understand God's love for the soul. His works stress the vital role of prayer in the spiritual life and show how you can live the truths of the Faith. A native of France, Fr. Plus studied abroad because of the 1901 laws against religious orders. As a French army chaplain during World War I, he gave the soldiers talks that were to serve as the material for his first two books, Dieu en nous (God within Us) and L'Idée reparatrice (The Ideal of Reparation), which were translated into multiple languages. For his wartime services, Fr. Plus was decorated with the Croix de Guerre. A renowned preacher and retreat master, Fr. Plus also served as professor of religion and spiritual director at the Université Catholique at Lille and taught at the Institut Catholique in Paris.
