Summary

In the spiritual life, we need a central idea: something so basic and comprehensive that it encompasses everything else. According to Carmelite Father Wilfrid Stinissen, surrender to God, abandonment to the One who loves us completely, is that central reality. The life of Jesus shows us the centrality of abandonment, for it is truly the beginning and the end of his mission on earth. 

In this simple but profound book, Father Stinissen distinguishes three degrees or stages in abandonment. The first stage consists of accepting and assenting to God's will as it manifests itself in all circumstances of life. The second is actively doing God's will at every moment of one's life. In the third stage, abandonment to God is so complete that one has become a tool in God's hands. At this stage it is no longer I who do God's will, but God who accomplishes his will through me.

Change your perspective on why 'bad things happen'

This book contains astounding insights into the true nature of human existence in general and of human suffering in particular. I encourage you to read/listen to it and, hopefully, it will enable you to change your perspective on human suffering and begin to understand its true nature. Perhaps, like me, it might also enable you to transform your own life by accepting unavoidable suffering as a gift from God; a gift which can help bring greater Good into the world.
