Episode 97 -- Imitation of Christ III.59 -- All Our Hope and Trust Must Be Place in God Alone

On what can we truly rely in this life?

Our Lord alone. Thomas a Kempis does not deny that friends and books can be of help. But when Our Lord is not standing beside us, no one else can truly give us peace or comfort. This advice about turning to Christ alone is the final advice of book 3 of the Imitation of Christ.
