This classic work from Thomas à Kempis, author of The Imitation of Christ, is now available in English for the first time.
It is the teaching of the Church that without the virtue of humility, we cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Just as pride is the root and source of all sin, so is humility the foundational virtue in which all other virtues must be grounded. Ever since Lucifer’s pride prompted his rebellion from God and Heaven, it has been continuously forgotten that only humility can lead us to Heaven and the full union with God.
Pride is the broad and easy road to Hell. Humility is the heartbeat of the saints and the foundation of all virtues. It is the virtue that conforms us most closely to Christ. In this short but deeply rich book, the great spiritual master, Thomas à Kempis, teaches the necessity and cultivation of humility. He also shows the manifestations of pride. He guides the readers to the elevation of one’s mind to God and to pray with humility and reverence. The book also includes some of the most beautiful prayers ever written to God, the Blessed Mother, and the saints that will help the readers advance in virtue and pray with fervour.
