Status Updates From L'imitation de Jésus-Christ

“Shrink from debating upon the works of the Most High, but search narrowly thine own iniquities into what great sins thou hast fallen, and how many good things thou hast neglected. There are some who carry their devotion only in books, some in pictures, some in outward signs and figures; some have Me in their mouths, but little in their hearts.”

“Oh, if we never sought after fleeting joys or never busied ourselves chasing after possessions and status, what a good conscience we would keep!”
