The Imitation of Christ: The Beatitudes Edition

by Thomas à Kempis

O Lord, you are the Truth. I want to follow you. It confuses me to hear and read so many conflicting opinions. You are the One I long for. Let shallow thought be mute. Let everyone remain silent before you. In the stillness Lord, speak to me. I will listen. Lord, focus my mind, my thoughts, on you. Help me understand the promises in your Holy Word. May your Word be a lamp to guide my feet, a light for my path. Amen.

Your sole desire should be the glory of God, not the praise of others.

Nothing will hinder you more than thinking only about yourself.
