Do Ordinary Things with All of Your Heart

One of the books featured in "One Hundred Great Catholic Books" that I blogged about yesterday is "Abandonment to Divine Providence" by Jesuit Jean-Pierre de Caussade. Included was this quote:

"Accept what comes to you - the situation you find yourself in is the very place you will encounter Christ and find salvation. And as a natural result: Live wholly in the moment you find yourself in, not in the past that cannot be changed or the future you cannot control. Caussade calls it 'the sacrament of the moment.'

'Abandonment to Divine Providence' proclaims that holiness is basically easy -- it is just a matter of doing ordinary things with all of our heart."
