Holy Father, who hast nourished and strengthened thy Church by the writings of thy servant Thomas a Kempis: Grant that we may learn from him to know what we ought to know, to love what we ought to love, to praise what highly pleaseth thee, and always to seek to know and follow thy will; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
✝️ Today we remember Thomas à Kempis, a 15th-century monk best known for “The Imitation of Christ”, a spiritual classic urging humility, inner devotion, and following Jesus above worldly praise.
