Episode 21. Abandonment to Divine Providence: The Strength of Simplicity and Triumph of Humility
Father Robert Nixon concludes his series on “Abandonment to Divine Providence” by Jean-Pierre de Caussade with a focus on simplicity and humility in sections eleven and twelve of Book two, Chapter four. He highlights how simplicity, rooted in a singular focus on fulfilling God’s will, leads to clarity and spiritual peace amid life’s complexities. Nixon contrasts this with the triumph of humility over pride, emphasizing that despite the apparent dominance of evil in the world, God’s order ultimately prevails. He encourages us to embrace these virtues wholeheartedly, trusting in God’s plan for salvation and finding solace in His boundless love and grace.
