Synopsis
Here, the eminent theologian Garrigou-Lagrange explains Divine Providence in both its deep doctrinal foundations and in its workings in our daily lives. Unlike modern theologians, Fr. Garrigou-Lagrange holds that the salvation of souls is more important than anything else.This great book demonstrates an entire philosophy of life based on the firm rock of confidence in God's Providence for us - which in turn is a position based solidly on Catholic doctrine. Further this book demonstrates how we can have the confidence and joy of the Saints, even amid the trials of this earth, which is one of the great paradoxes of the Catholic way of life.
