de Caussade's work is a classic on how we draw closer to God. Below is an excerpt.
“The way of pure faith...enables us to find God at every moment. Can anything be more magnificent, more mysterious, and more blessed...What has to be done to produce such an amazing effect? Just one thing: let God act and do all he wishes according to our state in life. Nothing in the spiritual life is easier, and it is within everybody’s reach. Yet so wonderful and dark is this road that we need great faith to walk along it."

Wonderful words from the Old Testament prophet--wonderful prophecy about our lord and savior, Jesus Christ, and what will happen at his birth. Also, note the images in the first few verses that seem taken directly from the creation story in Genesis.
"Arise, shine, for your light has come,
and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.
See, darkness covers the earth
and thick darkness is over the peoples,
but the Lord rises upon you
and his glory appears over you.
Jesus Christ is the Alpha and the Omega of my spiritual nourishment.
