“When God becomes our guide he demands with justice that we trust absolutely in him and be in no way disturbed by the way in which he leads us. We are pushed without seeing the road over which we are passing. What we have seen or read is no guide to us now. In the case of our own action, we must walk guided by experience. We cannot do otherwise. We cannot take risks. But God’s action is always novel. It does not return on its steps. It always finds new paths. Those led by this action do not know where they are going. The paths they follow are not to be found in books or in their own reflections. God’s action continually shows them the forward path. They follow it by a divine impulse”
From ‘Abandonment to Divine Providence’ by Jean-Pierre de Caussade
