About this book

A short treatise by Alphonsus Liguori, the eighteenth-century Italian bishop and moral theologian, on conforming one's will to the will of God. Liguori teaches that peace is found not in favourable circumstances but in willing what God wills, in sickness and health, loss and gain alike. Simple and direct, it has long been used as a manual of resignation and trust.
