ARE YOU ADVANCING IN YOUR SPIRITUAL LIFE?
Translated from the original Spanish by Fr. Joseph Rickaby, SJ, this book is a tool to help you progress further in your spiritual life. As Jesus exhorted, "You must be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect, " and as holy Church teaches, we cannot see Him face-to-face until we, ourselves, are also perfect. We are made in God's image for an incredibly sublime destiny -eternity with our perfect heavenly Father. Starting now...
These three volumes present in a clear manner what constitutes perfection, and how to grow in it by the cultivation of the virtues. It is very specific and, by the grace of God, you will gain an immensely profitable understanding of this subject so that you may run in the way of God, heart overflowing with the inexpressible delights of Love.
Fr. Alphonsus Rodriguez, born in 1546 (when the Jesuits were elite troops in the battle for the salvation of souls), was a priest of exemplary virtue. In the Society he was entrusted for many years with the high responsibility of care of souls, and exhorting the brethren. The present volumes are the fruit of those labors. From the author: I reflected that it is a practice very much recommended by saints, to read something every day that may promote our spiritual advancement. This being the principal design of the following work, I have laid before you, as clearly and briefly as I was able, such things as are more essential, that it may be useful to all persons in general who aspire to Christian perfection. These will serve as a mirror wherein, if we daily view ourselves, we shall be enabled to correct our imperfections and decorate our souls as will render them most pleasing to the eyes of His Divine Majesty. I call it Practice because things are treated in such a manner as may render the practice very easy.
