The Imitation Of Christ - Interior Consolation

Por Nico Mulholland

O que você irá aprender

Thomas a Kempis compiled "The Imitation of Christ" in the 1400s and over the years it has become almost as popular and well-known as the bible itself. The meditations are not necessarily on biblical content, but they do always answer the question "In this situation, what would Christ do?" The depth of his meditations have acted as a guide to many, no matter which path we choose to walk.

Lição 1

Introduction And Brief Background

Thomas a Kempis may be known to many, and yet there are a those to whom his writings and reflections may be entirely new. This first lesson gives a brief introduction to his life and considers how his meditations can be applied to our daily lives in this modern age.

Lição 2

Opening Blessings

In this opening of The Book of Interior Consolation, we find the directives that point us to an inward life of contemplation, surrender and lasting peace. Often the aspect is familiar to us who have a meditative practice. Truth does not change at the hands of time. Nor is it subject to faith. It is absolute.

Lição 3

Do Not Be Anxious

Surrender to a higher power is at the root of Christian belief. "Thy will be done" is intoned at the end of the daily prayer repeated by many and never given much thought. How do we practice surrender? We may already have the key in our meditation practice.

Lição 4

Peace Is Not Found In Seeking Validation

Have you ever found that you are spending a lot of your energies on trying to fit in with what others apparently want from you? Sometimes we are pulled this way and that, and notice eventually that we do not have our own centre at all. What can we do about it?

Lição 5

Do Not Be Dejected When You Fall Into Defects

Life is not all plain sailing. In fact it would be a bit of a bore if it were. Somehow, we need trials and tribulations in our lives in order to make progress and develop further. How we deal with adversity is a reflection on the path we have travelled.
