Description

These days it is easy to get caught up in the pre-Christmas rush buying presents, sending cards, putting up decorations, and attending drinks and parties, only to find that we’ve got left no time to prepare for the advent of Christ our Saviour. “Turn your thoughts,” wrote Saint Bernard in his sermon for the First Sunday of Advent, “with earnestness to those who are actually desirable, and diligently meditate on this coming of our Lord.” Indeed, what better way is there to prepare to welcome Jesus into our world and our hearts than personal meditation and prayer? In this we will be able to be assisted by the beautiful prayers of Saint Thomas À Kempis, the fifteenth century writer of that great classic of Christian devotion, The Imitation of Christ. The selection of prayers by Saint Thomas in this book is taken from his Prayers and Meditations on the Life of Christ, one of his lesser known works concerned with the life and death of Our Lord, his Resurrection and Ascension, and the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost.

Other prayers in this book come from quite a lot of ancient sources, including the nineteenth century collection of indulgenced devotions referred to as The Raccolta, first compiled by the devout Father Telesphorus Galli (1788-1845), canon of the Roman Basilica of Santa Maria in Cosmedin and Consulter of the Holy Congregation of Indulgences and Holy Relics. Several of the lovely Novenas were first published in the Prayer-Book for Religious (1914) by the prolific Catholic creator Father Francis Xavier Lasance (1860-1946). They’ve been edited and adapted, where necessary, to make them suitable for the usage of lay persons.

The book is fully navigable by an active Table of Contents with hyperlinks to every prayer.
