Episode 1 -- Imitation of Christ I.1 -- Asking for Christ to Imitate Christ

What is the most important thing to do in life?

Imitate Christ. As we begin this new book, on the Solemnity of St Joseph, the man who most imitated Christ, we will begin to read Thomas a Kempis' Imitation of Christ. Many saints, for example, St Therese of Lisieux, used to read a chapter every day. She is said to have many parts memorized. This book was used by St Philip himself during his sessions of talking on the book with his disciples. We begin book 1 in this episode, a book dedicated to "practical advice for following Christ." May St Joseph be with us all.
