Like the heliotropium, an ancient form of sunflower that constantly turned its face toward the sun, so the will of man should be constantly turned toward God-to know and follow His Holy Will. Failure to recognize and accept the Will of God can condemn a soul to misery.

Produktbeschreibung
Like the heliotropium, an ancient form of sunflower that constantly turned its face toward the sun, so the will of man should be constantly turned toward God-to know and follow His Holy Will. Failure to recognize and accept the Will of God can condemn a soul to misery. Conformity to God's Holy Will, on the other hand, brings peace and contentment to the human heart and is the key to holiness and salvation. In this famous classic, Father Jeremias Drexelius, S.J. tells how to recognize God's Will, how we should conform ourselves to it, the hindrances we encounter and the assistances we receive toward accepting it, and the great benefits that we will derive from this conformity. He also explains the great importance of trust in God. The key to happiness and peace is the conviction that God has a Will for us and that our greatest good is to be derived by discovering what that Will is-and thereafter by putting our own will into conformity with God's Holy Will. In HELIOTROPIUM, Fr. Drexelius explains this blessed way of life, which can bring a foretaste of Heaven even here on earth.

Autorenporträt
Father Jeremias Drexelius, S.J., was born in 1581 at Augsburg, Germany. Initially brought up as a Lutheran, he converted to the Catholic faith in his youth and later became a Jesuit. He subsequently taught rhetoric at Dillingen, and served as a court preacher to Maximilian I for over two decades. It has been said that Father Drexelius' voice was strong enough to be heard in every corner of the Church, and his homilies were such as an hour felt as only a few minutes. In 1621 he retired from preaching, and authored twenty works that have been widely read and translated. Some of his books include Heliotropium, The School of Patience, The Christian Zodiac, and Daniel, Prophetarum Princeps. He died on the nineteenth of April, 1638.
