About this listen

Sometimes discernment seems complicated, and we struggle to “be still” to listen to God’s voice. Following the death of his spiritual director, St. Alphonsus Liguori penned timeless advice in a letter to one of his spiritual daughters, and it became the famous work titled Uniformity with God’s Will. Now, Dan Burke breaks open St. Alphonsus’s 18th-century classic for you. He intersperses relevant explanations and insights within the text of this great saint and includes reflection questions for each chapter.

St. Alphonsus explains, “We should most confidently abandon ourselves to all the dispositions of divine providence, since they are for our own good.” In minute after minute, Burke shows you how the “wind and waves” can help you ascend to union with God. You will discover:

  • The “paralyzing cocktail” we drink when we reject God’s will
  • When good works are displeasing to God (Can you guess?)
  • Three prayers that will assist you in directing all things to God’s will
  • Two ways we can know God’s love and hear his voice
  • Two life-altering spiritual disciplines according to St. Teresa of Ávila
  • How humiliation, adversity, and trials can bring freedom, healing, and salvation (You will be shocked!)

Liguori intersperses fascinating real-life examples from the saints to assist you in remaining steadfast amid afflictions. He explains three temptations that confront us and how to resist them, along with four practices of uniformity to God’s will and a surefire way to unite your sufferings to Christ’s sufferings.

You will acquire tips on what to do during periods of aridity or desolation. Above all, you will discover how to enjoy peace of heart in all circumstances and foster loving conversation with God. By learning how to entrust yourself fully to God’s holy will, you will experience His divine embrace and the fulfillment of your deepest desires.

A “What Next?” section helps you take practical steps in doing God’s will. Burke also provides a summary of the Paradigm of Ascent, which provides often hidden but foundational insights and practices necessary to live out Liguori’s wisdom and to know the peace promised by God. In addition, he provides a simple action plan to implement these fruitful practices in your life.

powerful book

I'm going through major spiritual battles right now and I have a team working with me through deliverance. a few months prior I saw the author and his son talking about his new book and the book conformity to gods will. I read conformity that day and was kinda crushed as I'm really going through the wringer big time especially in my health. well down the pike came more and I did a 30 day protocol with the guidance of my local catholic church to determine level of diabolical influence. well it's been a very difficult 30 days and yesterday this book popped up again only to confirm for me that this boat I'm in is God will. tough pill to swallow to say the least. However I feel a little less freaked out knowing God has a plan in my suffering and it is not for nothing and all this will work out for my good and his glory. I just finished this audio in just a small amount of time and will listen again and again until its message helps my mind transition from fighting gods will to gladly accept his will Beit in my eyes good or bad. not a concept for the majority of the population at all , but I have always known my path was going to be different and trying to have one foot in the world and one foot with christ. well , that never works and only ends in misery. Thank you for this book and delivering Gods message to me again. seems I didnt want to accept it the first time he sent it to me.
