No.732: Lent 2023 with Abandonment to Divine Providence

It’s that time of year again!  Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent is one week away.  I’m planning to read through Jean-Pierre de Caussade’s Abandonment to Divine Providence (affiliate link).  From the description: “God is to be found in the simplest of our daily activities and especially through total surrender to His will for each of us. That is the message of this 18th-century inspirational classic by Jean-Pierre de Caussade. Its encouragement to ‘live in the present moment,’ accepting everyday obstacles with faith, humility, and love, has guided generations of believers to holiness and spiritual peace.”  A very timely and necessary read for me, I think!

Like in past years, I split up the sections and made myself a reading calendar to keep me on track.  Sharing my plan below in case it’s helpful for someone else someday:
