Show Notes

De Caussade quotes in this episode:

  • God speaks to every individual through what happens to them, moment by moment.
  • What God arranges for us to experience at each moment is the best and the holiest thing that could happen to us.
  • The present moment holds infinite riches beyond your wildest dreams.
  • God teaches the soul by pains and obstacles, not by ideas. 
  • We must offer ourselves to God like a clean, smooth canvas and not worry ourselves about what God may choose to paint on it, but in each moment, feel only the stroke of his brush.
  • The soul, light as a feather, fluid as water, innocent as a child, responds to every movement of grace like a floating balloon.
