Book Two. The Interior Life
Meg: We have been posting the Imitation of Christ for a few weeks. We have completed Book One of the Four Books. I fully intended to move on after the posting of Book One, but the topics of Book Two pose an invitation I cannot resist. These topics are a great introduction into the season of lent.
I will keep my commentary short. As you notice I am trying to bring forward the teachings and to mute the negative worldview that was so much of that culture post the Black Plaque where so many died a very painful death. Towns were lost not just individuals of families.
