Knowing the Love of God
Book •
Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange's 'Knowing the Love of God' gathers his talks on the spiritual life, emphasizing the nature of sanctifying grace, divine love, and the path to Christian perfection.
Drawing on Thomistic theology and ascetical tradition, the book explains how God's love operates in the soul and how humans respond through prayer, virtue, and obedience.
It addresses the realities of consolation and dryness in prayer, the effects of sin (including venial sin) on the soul, and practical means of growing in holiness.
Garrigou-Lagrange stresses the necessity of mortification, continual conversion, and habitual reception of grace for spiritual progress.
The work has been highly influential among 20th-century Catholic spiritual writers and pastors seeking classical Thomistic approaches to the interior life.
