The Duty of the Present

I was reading an excerpt from French Jesuit Jean-Pierre de Caussade and came across this quote: "All we need to know is how to recognize God's will in the present moment."

Jean-Pierre speaks in almost all his writings about "the duty of the present." What a concept. To be fully present. Fully engaged with the person in front of us. Fully alive to the moving of God and His Spirit today, right now, in this circumstance, no matter how painful or exhilarating.

Sounds a lot like Jesus...
