Thomas a Kempis — Imitate Christ's Patience
By Thomas a KempisSource: Thomas a Kempis - The Imitation of Christ, Book III, Chapter 56 - Public Domain72 words
O Lord Jesu, forasmuch as Thy life was narrow and despised by the world, grant me to imitate Thee, though the world despise me. For the servant is not greater than his Lord, nor the disciple above his Master. Let Thy servant be exercised in Thy life, for therein my salvation and true holiness are found. Whatever I read or hear besides is not able to give me full refreshment or delight.
