JeanPierre de Caussade

In 1708, Jean-Pierre de Caussade was ordained a member of the Society of Jesus in Toulouse, France. He was named spiritual director of the Jesuit retreat home in Nancy in 1731, where he oversaw the spiritual supervision of the Visitation Nuns. This book is made up of notes from his addresses to nuns. Kitty Muggeridge, the wife of novelist and journalist Malcolm Muggeridge, is a well-known translator.
