Counsels of Perfection for Christian Mothers

“Be on guard against haste and worry, for nothing hinders us more on our journey toward perfection.” -St. Francis de SalesWe are all called to be saints, but with busy schedules and many responsibilities it can be a challenge to know how to use our time wisely, grow in virtue, and overcome spiritual obstacles. In this inspirational book, originally published in the early 1900’s, you will find practical advice on a rule of life, mental prayer, spiritual reading and other valuable means of spiritual growth.Drawing from the wisdom of spiritual classics such as the Introduction to the Devout Life and The Imitation of Christ, Monsignor Lejeune provides simple, yet compelling counsels to help mothers overcome specific obstacles to spiritual growth and to cultivate virtue. He also goes through the various Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola, and goes on to explain how to reap the most benefit from them. His book is addressed to Christian Mothers, but the spiritual counsels provided within will be of benefit to all those striving for christian perfection.This newly digitized version (NOT a photographic reproduction) has been revised and beautifully reformatted while remaining true to the original translation.
