A collection of thirty sermons by Thomas a Kempis, author of the devotional classic 'Imitation of Christ.' Addressed to novices in the religious life, they offer '...lessons of obedience, humility, modesty, patience, love of the cloister, of solitude and silence, zeal for the worship of God, and devotion to the angels and saints, to the holy Mother of God, and above all to the person of Jesus Christ...[T]hey are animated with the same spirit, they vibrate and palpitate with the same life as the other works of the Venerable Author, and especially his masterpiece, the “Imitation.”' (from the Introduction.)
