What is the secret of finding this treasure? There isn't one. This treasure is everywhere. It is offered to us all the time and wherever we are. All creatures, friends or foes, pour it out in abundance, and it flows through every fiber of our body and soul until it reaches the very core of our being. If we open our mouths  they will be filled. God's activity runs through the universe. It wells up around and penetrates every created being. Where they are, there it is also. It goes ahead of them, it is with them and it follows them. All they have to do is let its waves sweep them onward, fulfill the simple duties of their religion and stage, cheerfully accept all the troubles they met, and submit to God's will in all they have to do ... This is the true spirituality, which is valid for all times and for everyone. We cannot become truly good in a better, more marvelous, and yet easier way than by the simple us of the means offered us by God: the ready acceptance of all that comes to us at each moment of our lives.

Jean Pierre de Caussade
1675-1751

Jean Pierre de Caussade (1675-1751), was a Jesuit priest who saw the essence of Christianity, and all religious practice, as pivoting on the purity of one's heart and complete surrender to God's will. Tom him every moment and every event in life was sacred because 'God speaks to everyone through what is happening to them moment by moment.'
