God Within Us

The end of piety, its object and reward, is intimacy with God. Few souls attain it. Many imagine it to be an impossibility. Why? Forgotten by many is the doctrine of the in-dwelling of the Holy Trinity: of God living in the soul by grace. God loves us and desires a relationship with us—a truth that brings joy and hope for the soul seeking Him. This book explores this reality and its effects, and remains a source of light for souls wishing to plunge into the riches of Divine Goodness. Fr. Raoul Plus, S.J. (1882–1958), was a renowned French spiritual director and retreat master who wrote over forty spiritual works. As a French army chaplain during World War I, he gave the soldiers talks that were to serve as the material for his first two books, Dieu en nous and L'Idée reparatrice, which were translated into numerous languages. For his wartime services, Fr. Plus was decorated with the croix de guerre.
