In the second episode of his commentary series on Abandonment to Divine Providence by Jean-Pierre de Caussade, Fr. Robert Nixon emphasizes that sanctity lies in fidelity to God's order and submission to His will, as exemplified by the Blessed Virgin Mary. By embracing God's will in every moment, whether mundane or significant, we participate in divine work, achieving sanctity through active and passive fidelity. This approach encourages us to find strength and serenity by wholeheartedly abandoning ourselves to God's providence in our daily duties.Episode 2 covers Book I, Chapter 1, Sections 1-3.LEARN MORE - USE COUPON CODE COM25 FOR 25% OFFAbandonment to Divine Providence Deluxe Edition - <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://bit.ly/3VcQPxU">https://bit.ly/3VcQPxU</a>TAN Classics Deluxe Edition Set - <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://bit.ly/3Vx8Fx2">https://bit.ly/3Vx8Fx2</a>Self-Abandonment to Divine Providence - <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://bit.ly/4bRf2kg">https://bit.ly/4bRf2kg</a>Abandonment to Divine Providence (Paperbound) - <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://bit.ly/3x77bju">https://bit.ly/3x77bju</a>Trustful Surrender to Divine Providence - <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://bit.ly/4aUOltV">https://bit.ly/4aUOltV</a>The Soul of the Apostolate - <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://bit.ly/3X7blTc">https://bit.ly/3X7blTc</a>Uniformity with God's Will - <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://bit.ly/3Vy2CbB">https://bit.ly/3Vy2CbB</a>The Commentaries is a podcast series from TAN in which you’ll learn how to read and understand history’s greatest Catholic works, from today’s greatest Catholic scholars.

2. Abandonment to Divine Providence: Hidden Operations of God, Our Duties, and Sanctification

Fr. Robert Nixon explores how divine action can elevate the ordinary to the supernatural, urging abandonment to God's will as the path to profound sanctity.

Fr. Robert Nixon discusses divine action as always present and active, though only visible through the eyes of faith.

8. Abandonment to Divine Providence: The Revelation of God’s Will Through the Present Moment

<h2>Opening Prayer</h2>
Lord, I acknowledge that no one has power over nature but Thou, the one who made it. I thank Thee for the miracles recorded in Thy Word, which serve as proof of Thy presence and a claim upon my attention. Help me to see Thy hand in the natural and the supernatural alike, remembering that Thou who gavest nature its laws canst alone change them.
I petition Thee for the ability to discern Thy presence in every storm and every plague. Whether Thou workest through the instruments of nature or choosest to act without them, remind me that Thou art the Creator who alone can undo what Thou hast done. Strengthen my faith through the witness of Thy mighty works, which are the buttresses of my hope.
Amen.

									<blockquote>
John 10:1-10



1Amen, amen I say to you: He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up another way, the same is a thief and a robber.&nbsp;2But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.&nbsp;3To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.&nbsp;4And when he hath let out his own sheep, he goeth before them: and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.&nbsp;5But a stranger they follow not, but fly from him, because they know not the voice of strangers.&nbsp;6This proverb Jesus spoke to them. But they understood not what he spoke to them.&nbsp;7Jesus therefore said to them again: Amen, amen I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.&nbsp;8All others, as many as have come, are thieves and robbers: and the sheep heard them not.&nbsp;9I am the door. By me, if any man enter in, he shall be saved: and he shall go in, and go out, and shall find pastures.&nbsp;10The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I am come that they may have life, and may have it more abundantly.

									Blessed John Henry Newman explains that miracles are God’s “claim upon our attention.” They remind us that He who “gave nature its laws, alone can change those laws.” This aligns with the Church Fathers‘ defense of the Supernatural. In the Liturgical life, we see this most clearly in the Eucharist, where bread and wine become the “True Body and Blood”—a perpetual miracle of Grace. As members of the One Body, we recognize that God “has no need of nature” to accomplish His will, working His “great work” for our salvation.

									Newman notes that whether through Prophets or Apostles, God worked miracles to “show his presence with his servants.” A miracle is a sign that “God was there, though they saw him not.” It is the proof that “None can work a miracle but God,” signaling His direct visitation to the earth.

									<h4>Mary and the Magisterium</h4>
Mary’s life was a series of miracles, from the Incarnation to her Assumption. Her Assumption is a “fitting” miracle that recommends itself to our reason. The Magisterium confirms these miracles; the Bishop acts as the “servant leader” who ensures the “power of the Sacraments”, which comes from God alone, is rightly channeled. The Bishop preserves the unity of the flock by pointing to these signs of God’s presence, ensuring we do not attribute them to mere “nature.”

10. Abandonment to Divine Providence: The Life of God in the Soul, Abandonment, and Joy

<h3>Overview</h3>
Jesus, I Surrender Myself to You&nbsp;is both a moving spiritual biography and a profound witness to the transforming power of surrender to God&rsquo;s will. Drawing from the living memory of Don Dolindo Ruotolo through the testimony of his devoted niece Grazia, alongside the careful research of Luciano Regolo, this work reveals the hidden sanctity of a priest whose life became a continual offering to Christ.
&nbsp;
From a childhood marked by poverty, suffering, and misunderstanding to years of ecclesial persecution endured in silence, Don Dolindo&rsquo;s life was forged through obedience, humility, and radical trust in Divine Providence. Though burdened with immense trials, he developed an astonishing intimacy with Christ, becoming a spiritual father whose simple prayer of surrender continues to bring peace and consolation to countless souls around the world.
&nbsp;
Interwoven with firsthand accounts, Marian devotion, Eucharistic spirituality, and extraordinary graces, this book offers readers not merely the story of a mystic, but a practical path toward holiness. Don Dolindo demonstrates that true sanctity is not found in comfort or recognition, but in abandoning oneself completely into the loving hands of God.

<h3>Overview</h3>
The Enchiridion of Faith, Hope, and Love&nbsp;is one of the most concise and enduring summaries of the Christian life ever written. In this classic work, St. Augustine presents a clear and ordered explanation of the theological virtues&mdash;faith, hope, and charity&mdash;showing how they form the foundation of all Christian belief and action. Written as a practical manual (or "handbook"), the&nbsp;Enchiridion&nbsp;answers the essential questions every soul must face: What must we believe? What should we desire? How are we to live? With the trademark clarity and depth of a Doctor of the Church, Augustine leads the reader through these spiritual realities, demonstrating how each virtue directs the soul toward God and shapes a life of true holiness. Far from being a work of abstract theory, this text is a guide for daily life, inviting steady growth and a deeper understanding of the truths that guide the Christian journey.
