Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thomas a Kempis, Vol. 2: And the Brothers of Common Life The founding of the new monastery, first at Westerhof - The institution of the first Canons - A pestilence in the country - The monastery transferred to Mount St. Agnes - The people of Zwolle oppose the consecration of the cemetery Memorials of several who died on the Mount - The election of John a Kempis to be Prior - Various ways in which he promoted the interests of the monastery - Events from A.D. 1399-1406 - Thomas a Kempis received into the monastery - A memorial of Wolfard the Priest - The Investment of several Brothers by Prior John - Among these of Thomas a Kempis - The form of dedicating himself wholly to God - The Deed of Profession, and the Vow of Obedience - A Kempis on religious obedience - A soliloquy of thankfulness and devotion. As Thomas a Kempis came to live in the monastery at Mount St. Agnes within a short time after the Canons Regular, of which he became one, took possession of it, and the appointment of the first Prior, the matters concerning which he writes must have been recorded by him whilst the circumstances were fresh in the minds of those living there. Afterwards he writes respecting what he himself witnessed, or was concerned or took part in. I shall therefore give these chronicles, briefly and substantially, as they are related by him. On January 18, 1398, the most Reverend Father Frederick de Brankenheim, the famous metropolitan Bishop of Utrecht, granted his license and authority to the devout priests Egbert of Linghen and Wolfard Matthias, and certain other persons - devout clerics and laymen - dwelling together in Mount St. Agnes in Nemel, near Zwolle, that, for the more fully promoting the glory of God and of holy religion, they might construct in some suitable and convenient place in the diocese, a monastery of Canons Regular, where they might worthily and devoutly serve God according to the rule of the Blessed Augustine.

Download or read book Bountiful Goodness written by Thomas A' Kempis and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2013-07-29 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Imitation of Christ, also by Thomas À Kempis, is the most famous and beloved Christian devotional ever written. The simplicity, piety and wisdom that readers have found in that classic will also be discovered in these new modern-English translations of A Little Garden of Roses and The Valley of Lilies. The aim of these works is to draw the reader to a closer union with Jesus. While Imitation sets forth the principles of discipleship, the two works in this volume offer more practical advice. They treat of the virtues needed to advance toward God. The introduction to this volume includes a brief biographical sketch of Thomas À Kempis, a fourteenth-century German monk, as well as some notes about the texts themselves. Like all meditation books, explains the introduction, this one is not to be read in one sitting, but pondered and prayed over slowly. "Pause and reflect on what [À Kempis] has to say," advises Fr. Joseph Tylenda, the translator, "and then join with him when he address the Lord and listen to Him when He speaks to you."

Download or read book Feasting on the Word Year C Volume 2 written by David L. Bartlett and published by Westminster John Knox Press. This book was released on 2009-10-12 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With this new lectionary commentary series, Westminster John Knox offers the most extensive resource for preaching on the market today. When complete, the twelve volumes of the series will cover all the Sundays in the three-year lectionary cycle, along with movable occasions, such as Christmas Day, Epiphany, Holy Week, and All Saints' Day. For each lectionary text, preachers will find four brief essays--one each on the theological, pastoral, exegetical, and homiletical challenges of the text. This gives preachers sixteen different approaches to the proclaimation of the Word on any given occasion. The editors and contributors to this series are world-class scholars, pastors, and writers representing a variety of denominations and traditions. And while the twelve volumes of the series will follow the pattern of the Revised Common Lectionary, each volume will contain an index of biblical passages so that nonlectionary preachers, as well as teachers and students, may make use of its contents.
