About Jean-Pierre de Caussade

Jean-Pierre de Caussade was a French Jesuit priest, spiritual director, and ascetical writer associated with traditions of interior prayer and abandonment to divine providence in eighteenth-century French Catholicism. Although little known during his lifetime, he became widely influential through the posthumous publication of works attributed to him, especially Abandonment to Divine Providence, a classic of Christian spirituality centred on surrender to the will of God in the ordinary circumstances of daily life.
