Imitación de Cristo es una de las obras de devoción cristiana más conocida desde entonces, redactada para la vida espiritual de los monjes y frailes, que ha tenido una amplia difusión entre los miembros de la Iglesia católica. El autor Tomás de Kempis lo distribuyó en cuatro pequeños libritos. El libro Primero Narra cómo es la lucha activa que hay que librar para convertirse y reformarse y los obstáculos que se le presentan a quiénes desean ser santos, entre los cuales está como principal: ser "la sirena" de este mundo, o sea la atracción, el deseo de darle gusto al propio egoísmo y de obtener honores, famas, altos puestos, riquezas y gozos sensuales y vida fácil y cómoda. El libro segundo. Enseña cómo hay que comportarse en las tribulaciones y sufrimientos. Emplea mucho el nombre de Jesús indicando el afecto muy vivo y profundo que siente hacia el Redentor y que desea sientan sus lectores también. El libro tercero ya ha subido mas alto en espiritualidad. Aquí ya a Cristo lo llama El Señor. Se ha dado cuenta que la santidad no depende solamente de nuestros esfuerzos sino sobre todo de la ayuda de Dios. El libro cuarto de la Imitación está dedicado a la Eucaristía y es uno de los más bellos tratados que se han escrito acerca del Santísimo Sacramento. Millones de personas en todos los continentes han leído este librito para prepararse o dar gracias cuando comulgan. Beato Tomás de Kempis O.S.A. ( 1380 - 1471) fue un fraile católico renacentista del siglo XV, autor de la Imitación de Cristo. Era un hombre sumamente humilde, que pasó su larga vida entre el estudio, la oración y las obras de caridad, dedicando gran parte de su tiempo a la dirección espiritual de personas que necesitaban de sus consejos. La Iglesia Católica venera a este fraile como "beato", mientras la Iglesia anglicana lo considera santo.

The perfect gift for seekers, the curious, and the spiritually hungry, The Little Book of Prayers now has a stunning new cover and a more prayer book–like format. Gathered from holy books and prayer books, from songs and spirituals, spoken traditions and poets, it is an unexpectedly approachable collection of common and uncommon prayers from around the world. The entries, one per page or spread, are chosen for their depth of feeling, beauty of expression, spiritual intensity, and sense of the universal. The book is organized into broad categories of praise, entreaty, contemplation, mourning, and grace; and two indexes—one by authorship, and the other by topic—make it immediately accessible. There are familiar prayers, like the Lord’s Prayer and 23rd Psalm, which, placed in new context, shine with a renewed beauty and wisdom. You’ll find prayers unfamiliar to many in the West, such as the “Opener” from the Koran or the four vows of the Boddhisattva, chanted every evening in Zen monasteries around the world. And the surprising—from the “Prayer of the Unknown Confederate Soldier” to the blues of Lightnin’ Hopkins to the poetry of Rumi. God help us to live slowly: To move simply: To look softly: To allow emptiness: To let the heart create for us. Amen. —Michael Leunig You, whose day it is, make it beautiful. Get out your rainbow colors, so it will be beautiful. —Nootka Song

Can psychology and religion engage in constructive dialogue ? Has psychology a contribution to make in Christian formation ? These are some of the issues addressed in this volume, marking 25 years of the Institute of Psychology of the Gregorian University. The twenty articles which make up the work offer essential insights into how psychology and religion can meet and interact constructively, at the level of theory and of practice. These insights are presented in the context of an overall Christian anthropology which continues to develop and to further refine its practical applications. The contributions are divided into four sections - theory and method, dialogue between psychology and other disciplines, applications in different cultures, and concrete experiences of applying a psychologically-informed Christian anthropology in the educational setting. The balanced approach presented in this work makes it both a serious instrument of study and a valuable point of reference for the educator. Its constant reference to a Christian conception of the person will help avoid short-sighted pragmatism.

The treatise "Of the Imitation of Christ" appears to have been originally written in Latin early in the fifteenth century. Its exact date and its authorship are still a matter of debate. Manuscripts of the Latin version survive in considerable numbers all over Western Europe, and they, with the vast list of translations and of printed editions, testify to its almost unparalleled popularity. One scribe attributes it to St. Bernard of Clairvaux; but the fact that it contains a quotation from St. Francis of Assisi, who was born thirty years after the death of St. Bernard, disposes of this theory. In England there exist many manuscripts of the first three books, called "Musica Ecclesiastica," frequently ascribed to the English mystic Walter Hilton. But Hilton seems to have died in 1395, and there is no evidence of the existence of the work before 1400. Many manuscripts scattered throughout Europe ascribe the book to Jean le Charlier de Gerson, the great Chancellor of the University of Paris, who was a leading figure in the Church in the earlier part of the fifteenth century. The most probable author, however, especially when the internal evidence is considered, is Thomas Haemmerlein, known also as Thomas a Kempis, from his native town of Kempen, near the Rhine, about forty miles north of Cologne. Haemmerlein, who was born in 1379 or 1380, was a member of the order of the Brothers of Common Life, and spent the last seventy years of his life at Mount St. Agnes, a monastery of Augustinian canons in the diocese of Utrecht. Here he died on July 26, 1471, after an uneventful life spent in copying manuscripts, reading, and composing, and in the peaceful routine of monastic piety.
