FROM
IGNATIAN RETREATS
(AN APPEAL TO THE HEART AND THE WILL)
“The world promises things of temporal and of small value, and is served with great
eagerness; I promise things more excellent and everlasting, and men’s hearts are not
moved.
For a small living men run a great way, for eternal life, many will scarce move a single
foot from the ground.” My Imitation of Christ by Thomas Kempis, Book III, Ch. 3.
“The present time is very precious. The time will come when thou will wish for one day
or hour to amend and I know not whether thou shalt obtain it.” My Imitation of Christ
by Thomas Kempis, Book I, Ch.11.
