Remembering our own mortality is an invaluable practice that produces great spiritual reward. Such meditation prepares us for the ultimate event: our entrance into eternity."Remember, O mortal, that you are dust, and to dust, you shall return."Throughout history, many souls, upon meditating on their mortality, have forsaken the temporary pleasures of this world. Through contemplating death, numerous individuals have conquered the desires of the flesh. It is through the meditation on death that many have ascended the ladder of holiness.Keeping the reality of death constantly before our eyes is one of the greatest secrets to sanctity, as death is the only certainty in this existence. Those who daily ponder the approaching hour of their death will not be caught off guard when that moment arrives. Instead, they will have spent their entire lives in preparation, ready to meet their Creator."Meditations on Death" serves as a poignant reminder of the brevity of our earthly journey and the paramount importance of living with an eternal perspective. It invites readers to cultivate purity of mind, embrace the cross of Christ, and place their hope and trust in God alone. Through these meditations, Thomas à Kempis illuminates the path to preparing our souls for the eternity that awaits us.
Composed nearly six centuries ago, the cornerstone spiritual work The Imitation of Christ by medieval monk Thomas à Kempis offers an enduring guide to the Christian faith through deep and joyful emulation of Jesus' own example.Originally written anonymously and published in the mid-1400s, the text of The Imitation of Christ represents a serene collection of meditations and musings on emulating the life and spirituality of Jesus Christ, inviting the reader to walk along that same sacred path with both humility and delight.Thomas à Kempis' book, which brings to life his core philosophy to earnestly imitate Christ's own words and deeds before all else, is laid out in a series of four books of meditative prose. The first book examines the great value of seeking an internal life modeled on Christ, pondering Scripture as a means to know Christ better. Book two provides prescriptions for emulating a humble, impartial, and holy life akin to Christ's, while book three addresses the value of an interior life spent in quiet contemplation of God. The text concludes with the fourth book's ruminations on the unshakable joy found through complete surrender to Christ in communion alongside him through the bread and wine of the Eucharist.For centuries, The Imitation of Christ has remained a profoundly revered Christian classic. Its simple yet moving approach to developing a life of piety, selfless devotion, and spiritual tranquility has led many to seek the faith and compassion modeled in Christ's own radiant example. Readers gain ageless guidance on living with contrition, contemplation, serenity and purpose in Thomas à Kempis' devotional treasure. The lasting readership of the work through the centuries serve as a testament to the compassion, grace and wisdom found within its pages.
This volume presents two of his shorter works which have not hitherto been available in English-The Hospital of the Poor (Hospitale Pauperum) and The Way of the Monk: A Handbook for Spiritual Warfare (Enchiridion Monachorum)Both of these treatises were written to serve as simple and helpful guides to the conduct of the spiritual life, and, because of this, are composed in a direct, straightforward and easily readable style. In this respect, many readers may find them a little more accessible than The Imitation, and a useful companion to that volume.
