Identifies two fundamental threats to interior peace: not relying sufficiently on divine providence and the fear of suffering. Discusses, in light of the Gospel, how to overcome any obstacles to interior serenity. Concludes with a selection of texts from various spiritual writers: Juan de Bonilla, St. Francisco de Sales, St. Teresa of Jesus, Mary of the Incarnation, François-Marie-Jacod Libermann, St. Pio of Pietrelcina and St. Josemaría Escrivá.
