The divine will



.
The divine will
is a deep abyss
of which the present 
moment is the entrance.
If you plunge
into this abyss
you will find it
infinitely more vast
than your
desires.
.
~ Jean Pierre de Caussade
(French Jesuit who in the 18th century coined the phrase
"the sacrament of the present moment."  
He said,
"It is necessary to disengage from all we feel and do
in order to walk with God in the duty of the present moment...")
