One with Jesus: The Life of Identification with Christ

Paul de Jaegher, S.J. · 1929 · Spiritual reading

Summary

A short, luminous book on the «life of identification» with Christ: letting Jesus, present in the soul by grace, live and love in us. The author insists that this union rests on God's real indwelling in the soul in grace, not on mere friendship or outward imitation, and follows it from its beginnings to its fullness. It closes with the prayer to unite oneself to Jesus found in the prayers section.

Quotes

Powerfully seconding the action of God, it will not be long before they become other Christs.

May I, fully identified with You, become like another humanity to You.
