Episode 29 -- Abandonment to Divine Providence Bk 2 ch 1.1 -- Why God Leads us Into Hiddenness and Nothingness
Lectio et Oratio - A podcast by Fr Michael Eades of the Toronto Oratory

Does the state of abandonment help us? Yes. God is leading us to a perfect reliance on Himself. He is taking away from us all that cannot really sustain us. God wants to be All in all. He leads us by a dark path in which we can no longer rely on ourselves to guide us. We cannot really rely on anyone else, but God alone. In this state God fills us with all kinds of understanding and wisdom and love.
