Book 1 : Useful admonitions for the spiritual life -- Book 2 : Considerations for leading an interior life -- Book 3 : On interior conversation -- Book 4 : On the blessed sacrament and devout exhortation for holy communion
Our Lord's words "whoever wishes to be My follower must deny his very self, take up his cross each day and follow My steps" (Luke 9:23) were spoken for people of all times and localities. They are equally applicable to the young, to the middle aged and to the elderly. They are a challenge to modern people - surrounded by the comforts and conveniences of modern inventions - who take all these things for granted and, becoming immersed in the material, often forget their eternal destiny.
