Thomas à Kempis - Selected Teachings for Meditation/Contemplation - Christian Mystics
Selected verses from Kempis' "The Imitation of Christ" translated by Aloysius Croft
and Harold Bolton.
Thomas à Kempis (c. 1380 - 25 July 1471) was a German-Dutch canon regular of the late medieval period and the author of The Imitation of Christ, one of the most popular and best known Christian devotional books. Thomas joined the movement known as the Brothers of the Common Life, a religious community who were followers of the spiritual movement known as Devotio Moderna, or Modern Devotion. It emphasised spiritual renewal through such practices as humility, obedience, and simplicity of life.
The members took no vows but lived poverty, chastity and obedience in keeping with their state of life, usually living in their own homes. They earned their living through their work and contributed to a common fund at the disposal of the superior. The Imitation of Christ is a classic expression of their spirituality. He became an ordained priest later in life.

As there is a Luciano Parvarotti in opera, a Freddie Mercury in rock, so there is a Samaneri Jayasara when it comes to the reciting of holy words from the Mystics.
You always amaze me with the selection of spiritual masters. When I was early in my pursuit of the Divine God brought to me Thomas a Kempis’ “The imitation of Christ”. At the time though he was such a profound teacher that I was not mature enough to truly take heed of what was being shown to me. Now, I feel I will better appreciate this recording and will go back and review that book again. Thank you so much Samaneri for all that you do. In a way, although you just read all these gems I feel like your my Guru that brought me easy access to all the others gurus.
