Imitation of Christ
Join Jim Caviezel or Sr. Orianne in reading the entirety of the spiritual classic, the Imitation of Christ. Each day, we’ll meditate on a chapter from the book along with a reflection and prayer provided by the Daughters of St. Paul. The Imitation of Christ was written in the 15th century and is the most widely-read Christian book after the Bible.
The translation we will be using comes from Pauline Books & Media.
