The subtext of today’s Mass was rather profound and deeply esoteric. During the homily, our Priest asked us all to imitate Christ. I was thrown back to reading The Imitation of Christ (Thomas à Kempis) in my early twenties, during a time of high debauchery, frequent poverty and living with a Woman I thought soon to be my wife. Yet thirty years later, I’ve been wanting to revisit that book, and all the emotions surrounding it, because for some reason, it’s a bookmark in my development and will shed some light on my past by triggering said content.
