Overview

Where God Is Found ""God continues to speak today,"" says renowned French Jesuit writer Jean-Pierre de Caussade. Yet de Caussade explains that He doesn't always speak in ways we expect. His will isn't always revealed to us in a broad vision for our lives or overt direction. His voice and His will can be discovered in our everyday world as we give our lives to Him in complete trust and allow Him to work out His purposes for us. God and His unfolding will are active in your life as you eat, sleep, work, rest, visit, write, converse, pray, worship, and travel. He is present to you in both peaceful times and difficult circumstances. As a spiritual guide and mentor, de Caussade encourages you to follow God in each moment, considering it sacred: ""In the state of abandonment, the only rule is the duty of the present moment. In this the soul is light as a feather, liquid as water, simple as a child, active as a ball in receiving and following all the inspirations of grace."" Start looking for God in every moment of your day and find the joy of living in His presence and fulfilling His divine will for your life.

Author Information

Jean-Pierre de Caussade (1675-1751) was a French Catholic Jesuit writer known for his work Abandonment to Divine Providence and his posthumously published letters of instruction to the Nuns of the Visitation at Nancy, where he served as spiritual director from 1733-1740, although he continued to write to the sisters after leaving Nancy. While he is best known for his work with the sisters, he also spent years preaching in southern and central France, as a college rector (at Perpignan and at Albi), and as the director of theological students at the Jesuit house in Toulouse. De Caussade was greatly influenced by the writings of both St. Francis de Sales and St. John of the Cross. He is noted for his belief that the present moment is sacred to God and that self-abandonment to it and its needs is a holy state. Bruce Mann is an award-winning voice artist and actor.
