Out of sight, out of mind. The absent are always in the wrong.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
Whoever would fully and feelingly understand the words of Christ, must endeavor to conform his life wholly to the life of Christ.
Thomas a Kempis

For it is the grace of Christ, and not our own virtue, that gives us the power to overcome the flesh and the world.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
He that avoideth not small faults, by little and little falleth into greater.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
Love is a great thing, a good above all others, which alone maketh every burden light.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
God evaluates by this criterion: How much love you invest in what you do is more important than how you do. The one who loves much is actually the one who does much.

Know all and you will pardon all.
Thomas a Kempis

For they truly know their Lord in the breaking of bread, whose heart within them so vehemently burneth, whilst Thou, O blessed Jesus, dost walk and converse with them.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
Love alone makes heavy burdens light and bears in equal balance things pleasing and displeasing. Love bears a heavy burden and does not feel it, and love makes bitter things tasteful and sweet.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
Praise adds nothing to your holiness, nor does blame take anything from it. You are what you are, and you cannot be said to be better than you are in God's sight.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
To be able to live peaceably with hard and perverse persons, or with the disorderly, or with such as go contrary to us, is a great grace.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
The acknowledgment of our weakness is the first step in repairing our loss.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
Intelligence must follow faith, never precede it, and never destroy it.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
Whoever finds Jesus, finds a rich treasure, and a good above every good. He who loses Jesus loses much indeed, and more than the whole world. Poorest of all is he who lives without Jesus, and richest of all is he who stands in favor with Jesus.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
Be assured that if you knew all, you would pardon all.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
Some people are tempted most strongly at the beginning of their spiritual life, others near the end. Some are troubled all their lives. Still others receive only light temptation. Such things are decided by God, and we can trust his wisdom.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
No man ruleth safely but he that is willingly ruled.

Salvation by the cross. [Lat., In cruce salus.]
