As some of you may know I am an administrator of the blog, The Lingering Pilgrim, and will be attempting to co-ordinate these two blogs into a more unified (and thus useful) purpose. As my personal blog will be more meditative and ecumenical, I will be more polemical on “The Lingering Pilgrim”, both in posts and comments. All are welcome to go to “The Lingering Pilgrim” and read and join the discussion. As such some of what I will post on “Meditatio Christi” will be posted on “The Lingering Pilgrim”. And vice-versa.
In addition, I will begin posting my thoughts and meditations on the great work by Thomas a Kempis, The Imitation of Christ. This will hopefully turn into a weekly habit as there is much to be learned from the great words of this holy monk. I hope it may be useful to those who read it and bring greater glory to the holy, blessed, undivided Trinity. A notice of the posting will be given on “The Lingering Pilgrim”.
Every Sunday (Lord’s Day) a short meditation from the Fathers, Mediaeval saints, Reformers, and other Christians (Western or Eastern), will be posted (with minimal commentary from the poster) on a passage of Scripture or other holy matter to exhort us to look to Christ in faith and repentance, bettering our lives in his service. To learn more about this see the post at “Lingering Pilgrim” here.
I will begin by posting a meditation from the holy and blessed doctor of the Church, St Augustine, next Sunday. May you all have a blessed Lord’s Day; listening to the Word preached, confessing your sins, receiving absolution, feeding on Christ in your hearts by faith in the holy mystery of the Sacrament of the Eucharist. My brothers and sisters, may Christ continue to work mightily in you, renewing you constantly and teaching you to love him more and trust in his precious promises with all your heart. Look to Christ and by having faith in him, may you have rest and peace. May the Lord bless us and keep us; the Lord lift up the light of his countenance upon us, and give us peace, now and forevermore. Amen. Pax Christi vobiscum!
