One Parish One Prisoner

Steve Deutermann and Linda Snyder will meet with Lytezia this week. They have a donated bicycle for her and a gift card for her cell phone service. They’re also looking into a King County Transit card (Orca card) so she can get around a bit easier. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this. Please continue to pray for this transition.

Thomas a Kempis, Priest & Mystic, 1471

Fun Facts

• The “a” in a Kempis is Latin for “from” and, if used, should never be accented. Thomas signed his own copy of the Imitation of Christ simply Thomas Kempis.

• During his monastic life, Thomas wrote thirty-one books, treatises, and articles including a chronicle of his monastery and several biographies. . . . He also left behind him three manuscripts of sermons, a number of letters, some hymns and, of course, the famous The Imitation of Christ.

• There are over 6,000 editions of the Imitation of Christ. That’s more than one edition per month for over five hundred years.
