Considerations on the passion of our Lord Jesus Christ - 27

After the Bible the most widely read book, consisting in a collection of thoughts aiming on Christian perfection.

Imitation of Christ

The Imitation of Christ, is a Catholic devotional book written around 1420, with emphasis in the interior life and withdrawal from the mundanities of the world. It is considered the most read book in the Christianhood after the Bible.
 
Many Saints profited from its reading. 

Saint Francis de Sales, recommends this book for meditation in his Introduction to Devout Life (Filoteia), as well as Dom Chautard in "The Soul of All Apostolate". 

Saint Therese of Liseux tells us (in History of a Soul) that "for many years" this was the only book she was able to get spiritual progress. It is also known that Saint Thomas More and Saint Ignatius of Loyola read this book frequently.
 
It is definitely an excellent book for meditation.
 
In our site, we took the liberty to divide the chapters, one for each day in the calendar year. The book has only 114 chapters, so it get 3 cycles in the calendar year:
 
1. From January 1st to April 24th
2. From April 25th to August 16th
3. From August 27th to December 7th
4. A partial run from December 8th to December 31st

Textos de de Santo Afonso de Ligório organizados pelo Padre Thiago Maria Cristini para serem meditados a cada dia do ano liturgico.

Meditações para todos os dias

Com título \"Meditações para todos os dias e festas do anno tiradas das obras ascéticas de Santo Afonso Maria de Ligório, Bispo e Doutor da Santa Igreja\", essa excelente obra foi compilada pelo Padre Thiago Maria Cristini (CSSR) e traduzida para o português pelo padre João de Jong.
 
Nesta obra o Padre Cristini se valeu da \"Le Opere Complete di Sant'Alfonso de' Liguori\" (A obra completa de Santo Afonso de Ligorio).
 
Com maestria, o pe. Cristini organizou os textos de Santo Afonso em leituras para serem meditadas em cada dia do ano litúrgico. As leituras com frequência nos remetem a liturgia do dia na missa tridentina. Portanto, meditar nos textos dessa obra pela manhã, antes de assistir a missa diária, é de grande valia espiritual.
 
Os textos de Santo Afonso são de uma beleza imensa, diferente de uma obra de teologia ou filosofia, o Santo, como que, escreve uma carta para o seu leitor, tentando animá-lo na fé e movê-lo a perfeição espiritual.
 
A obra é dividida em 3 Tomos, todos disponibilizados online em locais como [Alexandria Católica](https://alexandriacatolica.blogspot.com/2011/03/fonte-meditacoes-para-todos-os-dias-e.html) e no [Docer](https://docer.pl/doc/xe80e15) .
