Last week we saw that the Christian life is lived in the present moment—one duty at a time. Not yesterday.Not tomorrow.But now. Yet as soon as we begin to live this way, we run into something deeper—and harder. What about the things we did not choose? The interruptions.The disappointments.The burdens we would gladly remove if we could. Jean-Pierre de Caussade now takes us one step further: Not only must we do the duty of the present moment—we must also receive it.
