- Episode 80 -- Imitation of Christ III.42 -- Our Peace of Mind Cannot Depend on Men
We read about the true source of peace of heart. We cannot make our peace of heart depend on one particular human person. Yes, we need friendships. Yes, we need one another's help. But friendship and human love cannot be sustained without the grace and love of Christ Jesus. He not only saves us from sin, but He saves our loves by his divine love.
9 min - Episode 79 -- Imitation of Christ III.41 -- On Despising this World’s Honours
We read about the need to despise worldly honours. Such honours are meant to recognize human excellence. Honours are not bad in themselves. But Thomas a Kempis is urging us onto holiness. He wants us to view all honours of this life in light of God. If we are to be honoured, how much more must God be honoured? If I want real appreciation, I must find it in God.
8 min - Episode 78 -- Imitation of Christ III.40 -- A Man has No Goodness of His Own and Nothing to Boast of
Does a human being have goodness in himself?
Yes and no. In this reading, Thomas a Kempis draws our attention to the constant tendency in our hearts to evil. He stresses what we are when we forget and ignore God. At the same time, he shows us the proper balance. He shows us what we are with God's help. Thus we have a capacity to be helped by God. He has made us for Himself. He has made us to share in the divine life of the Most Holy Trinity.
