Sacrament of the Present Moment
by Jean-Pierre de Caussade
In this superb new translation of the celebrated spiritual classic of wisdom, hope, and inspiration, Jean-Pierre de Caussade offers guidance for daily living in communion with God. The work summons readers to holiness, reveals ways to conquer self-love and pride, and points the way for experiencing each moment as a sacrament. These timeless spiritual reflections probe the mystery of faith, illuminate the nature of authentic contemplation, and help us recognize and carry out God’s purpose in our own lives. They stand as powerful testimony to de Caussade’s conviction ”that there is nothing easier, more ordinary, more available to all than saintliness
