Fr. Charles Quadrupani wrote this book for everyone who longs to give himself to God — and who knows what must be done to be holy — but who just can’t manage to break free of worldly habits. In other words, How to Love God and Keep His Commandments is for everyday folks like you and me. It will help you banish your discouragement and grow in the peace of God as you struggle to love Him and to keep His commandments.
How? Not by diluting Christ’s call to holiness, but by showing you how He wants you to deal with the inevitable frustrations and false expectations that trouble you as you try hard to be good.
Do distractions in prayer leave you feeling far from God? Fr. Quadrupani shows you how to view such problems as an opportunity God is sending you to glimpse His abundant mercy.
Have you grown hopeless and spiritually dull because of long struggles with a persistent temptation or a sinful habit?
Here you’ll learn how to conquer that fault and to overcome the self-condemnation that the Devil sends along with it.
Do you feel guilty because you don’t feel sorry for your sins? You’ll gain valuable advice about how to regard such feelings.
On these and countless other topics, you’ll get wise spiritual direction that will clear your head and keep you securely within the love of God!
