On Piety
by Jean Guibert
'On Piety' Summary
In "On Piety," Father Jean Guibert delves into the essence of piety, exploring its transformative power on the human soul. He argues that piety fosters a profound connection with God, purifies the heart, illuminates the mind, strengthens the will, and kindles zeal for loving God and neighbor. Through a series of thought-provoking chapters, Guibert unpacks the nature of piety, its fruits, and the means by which it can be cultivated in daily life. His insights aim to inspire and guide both those who actively embrace piety and those who may question its relevance.Book Details
