Fr. Art Wehr, SJ was born in 1955 at the Presidio of San Francisco, the second of seven children of Art and Margaret Wehr. In 1977 he graduated from the University of San Francisco and two years later entered the Society of Jesus, the Jesuits. Graduating from Fordham University in New York with an M.A. in Philosophy he then traveled to Rome where his studies resulted in an S.T.B. degree from the Gregorian University.

Jean-Pierre de Caussade, a French Jesuit spiritual director and writer born in the late seventeenth century, is best known for his belief in the sacredness of the present moment, or the "eternal now." His masterpiece, Abandonment to Divine Providence, has been celebrated by spiritual writers for its ability to invoke the mystery of eternity in the now.
