In today’s episode, we read Appendix 1 of Abandonment to Divine Providence,  "A Very Easy Means of Acquiring Peace of Heart,"  by Fr. Jean-Joseph Surin, an esteemed figure of the Society of Jesus in the 17th century. We begin with a brief biography of Fr. Surin, a priest who displayed virtues and resilience amid trials throughout his life. Born in 1600 in Bordeaux, he dedicated himself to God at a young age and faced the harrowing experience of being tormented by evil spirits for over twenty years, an ordeal which deepened his spiritual insights and fervor. This suffering did not hinder his calling; instead, it ignited a divine eloquence in him, allowing him to pierce through the hearts of the faithful with oratory and teachings inspired by deep spiritual truths. As we delve into his rules for achieving self-abandonment, we engage with transformative principles that promise to enrich our spiritual lives.
