One with Jesus: The Life of Identification with ChristUnder copyright: where to buy it
Why read it
For the reader who already prays and feels that the bond with Christ has settled into admiration or habit. The book proposes something deeper: letting Him live in us. It is short and can be read in a few sittings, but it rewards a second pass with a pencil in hand, because it asks to be meditated.
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, with resolutions for practice. It closes with the prayer to unite oneself to Jesus found in the prayers section. A new Proyecto Fénix translation, published with the permission of the Jesuits of Flanders and the Netherlands.
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.

My whole spiritual life may then be summed up in dying to self, through love of Jesus, so that he may live and love in me.
My son, give me your heart, that in you and through you, in a life of union I may love, or rather we may love the Father ardently.
