Being attentive to the grace of the present moment is an approach to life associated with Jean-Pierre de Caussade. The classic work attributed to him, Self-Abandonment to Divine Providence, describes the practice in these terms:
What happens at each moment bears the imprint of the will of God and of his adorable name. How holy is that name! How just, then, to bless it, to treat it as a sacrament which hallows by its own power souls which place no obstacle to its action! Can we see what bears this august name without esteeming it infinitely? It is a divine manna which falls from heaven in order to give us a constant increase in grace.
