The Imitation of Christ by Thomas à Kempis speaks to the soul of every true Christian, reminding us of the fleeting nature of earthly joy as opposed to the eternity of happiness with God. The guide of the saints since it first appeared in 1418, it was the sole spiritual reading of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, who loved it and knew it by heart.
The Story of a Soul by St. Therese of Lisieux was only written under holy obedience by the command of her superior. Saint Thérèse’s autobiography conveys the secrets of her great holiness, which she achieved through her simple and ordinary life. It teaches her “Little Way of Spiritual Childhood,” which she called her “elevator to Heaven."
Abandonment to Divine Providence by Fr. Jean-Pierre de Caussade offers the one sure solution to any spiritual difficulty: abandon yourself entirely to God by embracing the duties of your station in life. With wisdom and gentleness, he teaches how to practice complete submission to the will of God in every situation, whether we are beginners or seasoned travelers on the way to perfection. True abandonment, he explains, is a trusting, peaceful, and childlike surrender to the guidance of grace.
The Interior Castle by St. Teresa of Ávila expresses how she imagines the soul as a magnificent castle full of spacious and elaborate rooms. And, as Saint Teresa describes, at the heart of this castle stands the seat of the King Himself.
An Introduction to the Devout Life by St. Francis de Sales guides us to the knowledge that we are all called to the devout life. True devotion to God, as Saint Francis de Sales points out, adorns every vocation. Additionally, Saint Francis explains that the devout life is a choice worthy for its own sake: “And our blessed Lord Himself assure[s] us that a devout life is a lovely, a pleasant, and a happy life.” The wisdom contained in these pages have inspired the spiritual lives of saints throughout time and will inspire the saints of the future.
Confessions by Saint Augustine of Hippo is the greatest autobiographies ever written by mere mortals. In this masterpiece, you will find a doctor of the Church longing for the true Doctor of the soul, Christ. Taking us from Augustine’s roots in Africa to his encounters with his spiritual father Saint Ambrose in Milan, from his battle against his concupiscence to his famed conversion, Confessions is itself a veritable pilgrimage to the threshold of the new Jerusalem. Indeed, its end is not biography but a breathtaking meditation on time and memory, on the human soul and the material world, and on the creative and redemptive power of God himself.
