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.

In this respect, many readers may find them a little more accessible than The Imitation, and a useful companion to that volume.

Even the briefest of philosophical musing arrives at the conclusion that life is a passing vapor. When "all is vanity," where can true meaning and enduring significance be found?This timeless book cries out to a modern culture obsessed with knowledge yet mired in futility; it makes the case that truth can only be discovered in the footprints of Jesus.An unassuming monk from the 15th century, Thomas à Kempis devoted his life to reading and teaching Scripture. He wrote The Imitation of Christ in the midst of his daily service as an instructor and copyist. Though his life was unremarkable, the persistence of this work through the centuries proves it's very point: there is nothing more powerful or enduring than a humble life, dedicated to the simple pursuit of Jesus.No other historical work imparts the art of Christian discipleship so well as The Imitation of Christ. In the pages that follow, readers will discover... Gentle instruction toward authentic humilityPractical prayers for everyday discipleshipSeasoned guidance into deeper intimacy with Jesus HimselfThis unassuming work has beckoned millions of readers across the centuries into a lifestyle of surrendered devotion, and thus into a legacy of true significance."... all is vanity, save to love God, and Him only to serve. That is the highest wisdom, to cast the world behind us, and to reach forward to the heavenly kingdom."
