Abandonment to Divine Providence: Day 16~Ch 12 (Book 2)

Today, you will hear Chapter 12 of Abandonment to Divine Providence by Fr. Jean-Pierre de Caussade, entitled "On Being Content with God's Will."  We delve into the essence of passive submission to God and discover that true sanctification comes through divine action rather than intellectual understanding.

This chapter highlights two pivotal aspects of contentment with God’s will: the conviction that everything has meaning and the acceptance that such meaning may remain obscured, not just now but possibly for the foreseeable future. Fr. de Caussade articulates the notion that we cannot understand the divine designs solely through our own efforts or intellect; instead, we must yield ourselves like pliable material in the hands of the Divine Artisan, allowing His will to shape us.
