Christian Perfection and Contemplation

Christian Perfection and Contemplation is an entire treatise on the operation of grace in the spiritual life that clearly and skillfully explains the great principles of the spiritual life according to St. Thomas Aquinas and other sterling Catholic Sources. In fact, the author’s fascinating and extremely informative footnotes are themselves worth the price of the book.

Fr. Garrigou-Lagrange shows us that the mystical life, which is true life and, again, simply the full flowering of the Sanctifying Grace received at Baptism – is something abundantly spoken of in Scripture, especially in the Epistles of St. Paul and St. John, as well as in the traditional Liturgy of the Church.
