Jean-Pierre Caussade (7 mars 1675, Cahors, France - 8 d cembre 1751, Toulouse, France) tait un j suite fran ais et ma tre spirituel de renom. Entr dans la Compagnie de J sus en 1693 et ordonn pr tre en 1704, Caussade passa d'abord par quelques coll ges j suites avant de consacrer une grande partie de sa vie la direction spirituelle. Il fut le recteur du coll ge de Perpignan (1739) et de Albi (1743). C'est cependant comme guide spirituel qu'il trouve sa place dans l'histoire religieuse de la France. Il fut directeur des religieuses Visitandines et donnait les Exercices spirituels de saint Ignace de Loyola, lorsqu'il tait directeur de la maison de retraite de Nancy. Son approche spirituelle, encourageant l'oraison de qui tude et poussant la passivit dans la vie spirituelle, fit qu'on l'accusa de qui tisme. Ses crits authentiques, se ram nent un certain nombre de 'Lettres spirituelles' et quelques petits textes spirituels. "L'Abandon la Providence Divine", le c l bre livre de spiritualit qui a fait conna tre le nom de Jean-Pierre Caussade au public, n'est pas authentiquement de lui. Compos dans la premi re moiti du XVIIIe si cle, possiblement par une femme, il fut lu et copi parmi l'entourage de Madame Guyon, et ensuite parmi les Visitandines. Il ne fut publi qu'en 1860, lorsque le j suite Henri Rami re en prit connaissance. Rami re fut tromp par des Visitandines qui mont rent un stratag me pour le persuader d'attribuer ce livre Caussade. Les Visitandines voulaient mettre Caussade l'honneur parce qu'il avait laiss un souvenir marquant comme directeur spirituel au couvent des Visitandines de Nancy. D'autres textes spirituels ont t attribu s Caussade qui ne sont pas de lui ou de fa on tr s lointaine.

The Sacrament of the Present Moment is the three hundred-year-old classic of spiritual guidance and enlightenment by Jean-Pierre de Caussade, ordained member of the Society of Jesus. In this wise, hopeful, and powerfully stirring masterwork of Christian thought and daily practice, de Caussade encourages a selfless abandonment to God as a means of achieving grace and conquering pride and ego. Each day is a sacrament, the author assures us, and the lessons and wisdom of The Sacrament of the Present Moment can better enable us to hear God's voice as He speaks to us, always, with love.

“The will of God has nothing but sweetness, grace, and treasures for the surrendered soul” This inspirational classic was compiled more than a century after the death of its author, the French Jesuit, Jean-Pierre de Caussade. Gathered from the notes, discussions, and letters that he left behind, these reflections focus on accepting the will of God with an open heart, and learning to slow down and live life in the “sacrament of the present moment.” “I count myself blessed that, at an important juncture in my life, a wise elder introduced me to the writings of Caussade. From them I gained not only the guidance I needed to traverse a difficult terrain, but also a permanent element in my outlook on life: an appreciation of the operation of God’s providence and my need to be receptive of that providence despite the lack of full understanding and the pressure of contrary desires.” —Michael Casey, O. C. S. O. from the Introduction

For more than 250 years, this simple classic of inspiration has guided readers of all faiths to the open-hearted acceptance of God's will that is the sure path to serenity, happiness, and spiritual peace. A spiritual classic of the first order... a book for all those who truly seek God. --Dom David Knowles Father de Caussade has a wonderful way of encouraging the doubtful, of nurturing the personal surrender that is so much a part of the development of faith. The book is a mystery of its own -- and is definitely not for Christians only. --Rabbi Joshua Chasan Abandonment to Divine Providence is a classic perhaps more necessary now than ever before. It's a little book that rightly rejects the spirituality of fear and trembling (and the modern preoccupation with dreary self-absorption) in favor of an abiding trust in God's active benevolence. This is a work one reads again and again, always with gratitude and astonishment. --Donald Spoto, Author of Blue Angel and The Dark Side of Genius
