Synopsis:

In this compact book, the famous Thomist, Fr. Garrigou-Lagrange, sets forth the classic Catholic traditions on the spiritual life as the full flowering of Sanctifying Grace in the soul. He explains the three stages of the spiritual life -the Purgative Way, the Illuminative Way, and the Unitive Way - showing the transitions or conversions from one period to another. How can one become a saint without knowing the way - the pitfalls, common mistakes, and experience of Saints who have gone before?

About the Author:

Father Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange, O.P., was born in 1877 and is held as one of the greatest Catholic theologians of the twentieth century. He focused his writings against the error of Modernism, which denied the objective truth of Divine revelation, as well as on apologetics, including philosophy. In total, he authored over five hundred books and articles, and wrote as a thorough Thomist. Among Father Garrigou-Lagrange s numerous works are The Three Ages of the Interior Life, Christian Perfection and Contemplation, Christ the Savior, and God, His Existence and Nature. He died in 1964.
