Episode 54 -- Imitation of Christ III.16 -- True Comfort Should Be in God Alone

Lectio et Oratio - A podcast by Fr Michael Eades of the Toronto Oratory

Where should we seek our true comfort amidst the trials on this life? In God. Thomas a Kempis has warned us against seeking comforts in this life apart from the will of God. He was warned us about loving the things of this world only insofar as they lead us to our true happiness in the Lord Jesus. When we follow His will, we begin to taste in this life the fruits of the Holy Spirit, especially, love, joy, peace, and patience. There are true comforts in this life, comforts that arise from the Lord Himself. In today"s reading, we will hear about how to seek the comforts of the Lord.
