A Very Special Book for Very Busy People
“Just for Today”
Saint Therese Of Lisieux, with entries from The Imitation of Christ
The Imitation of Christ was Saint Therese of Lisieux’s favorite book and not only did she have much of it memorized, she put into practice what it taught and became a Saint and Doctor of the Church. She called it her little way, a way not by great things, but by ordinary deeds done well in God’s grace. A way that is open to each of us.
“Just for Today” matches a daily selection from the Imitation of Christ with one from the writings of Saint Therese of Lisieux. Reading these daily treasures may take less than a minute, though absorbing them and following St. Therese’s little way could take a lifetime. “By putting into practice what the Imitation of Christ teaches, the Little Flower shows that every happening of our lives, whether big or small, pleasant or painful, can be turned into a childlike gift to our Heavenly Father” (back cover).

From Kathmandu to the Benedictines, A Young Monk’s Tale and Discussion of “Just for Today.” Daily Meditations from Saint Therese of Lisieux and The Imitation of Christ!
The transformative journey that would lead Dom David Watters, a son of missionaries living in Kathmandu, to the serene life of a Benedictine Monk of Perpetual Adoration. Dom David Waters joins us from the emerald hills of Ireland to share his remarkable path from the vibrant streets of Kathmandu to the sacred silence of a monastery. His tale is an invitation to explore the enchanting liturgy that called to him, the Benedictine discipline of interweaving labor with prayer, and the power of adoration that continues to mold his spiritual journey. We also discuss the New Edition of “Just For Today.” Short Daily Meditations from Saint Therese of Lisieux matched with entries from her favorite book, The Imitation of Christ.
