Let go and let God. This popular phrase captures the essence of Father Jean-Pierre de Caussade's 18th century treatise on trust, Abandonment to Divine Providence.Do you doubt? Do you suffer? Are you anxious about the trials of life?Father de Caussade offers the one sure solution to any spiritual difficulty: abandon yourself entirely to God by embracing the duties of your station in life. With wisdom and gentleness he teaches how to practice complete submission to the will of God in every situation, whether we are beginners or seasoned travelers on the way of perfection. True abandonment, he explains, is a trusting, peaceful, and childlike surrender to the guidance of grace.

Grand classique de la spiritualité, équivalent moderne de l'Imitation de Jésus Christ, cet ouvrage, composé aux environs de 1740, est d'une grande actualité pour notre siècle tourmenté. L'important est-il de s'agiter pour poursuivre nos propres desseins ou plutôt de faire l'oeuvre de Dieu, créateur de toutes choses et origine de tout bien ? Cette question travaille les esprits tournés vers Dieu depuis la nuit des temps, à tel point que L'Abandon à la Providence divine a été le livre de chevet de nombreuses grandes figures chrétiennes, de Charles de Foucauld (« C'est un des livres dont je vis le plus ») à Urs von Balthasar.L'ouvrage a longtemps été attribué à Jean-Pierre de Caussade, jésuite né en 1675, auteur spirituel et familier de madame Guyon, une mystique laïque. On sait désormais qu'il n'en est pas l'auteur. Composé possiblement par une femme, il fut lu et copié dans l'entourage de madame Guyon, et ensuite chez les Visitandines de Nancy qui voulurent rendre hommage à un maître admiré.
