"I embrace everything that is done by every power, whether of soul or body; everything that is endured on any side soever. All these things are to be done, or to be endured, for the only end of fulfilling the Divine Will, and with this only intention, 'Because God so wills."

The Holy Will of God: A Short Rule of Perfection
by Rev. Father Benedict Canfield, Capuchin Friar,
translated by Father Collins.

What if the secret to holiness could be summed up in one rule—simple, complete, and powerful enough to transform your entire life?

In this spiritual masterpiece, Father Benedict Canfield, a 16th-century Capuchin friar, reveals the hidden treasure that guided saints and mystics: the way of total abandonment to the holy will of God. With striking clarity, he shows how every thought, word, and action—great or small—can become an act of love when offered for no other reason than “Because God so wills.”

Inside you will discover:

• The six degrees of intention that lead from forgetfulness to perfect joy in God’s will.

• How to recognize His will in every circumstance, from daily tasks to moments of trial.

• A practical path of prayer, mortification, and surrender that draws the soul into union with Christ.

Profound yet accessible, The Holy Will of God is not just another devotional book—it is a roadmap to sanctity, a short but complete rule of perfection for anyone who longs to live fully and joyfully in God.
