Product Information

Prétendre plaire au Sauveur par les connaissances sublimes qu’on a de Sa divinité, sans s’attacher à suivre Ses exemples, et à vivre comme Il a vécu, c’est la plus dangereuse des vanités. The Imitation of Christ is regarded as the most important devotional work in Catholic Christianity and is the most widely read devotional work next to the Bible.

The intermittent, otherworldly interjections of the countertenor create ambiguity about the identity of the soloist. Recent work using EEG to measure brain responses to facial gestures in newborn monkeys shows that despite their limited social experience (i. g. Japanese and certain rural African societies) place more value on infant affiliation and compliance, and on sharing and cohesiveness within the society.

There is no mention of the mediation of the God-man, of access through Christ, in the Holy Spirit, to the Father. There is a fundamental motivation on the part of both the parents and newborns to be in social engagement with each other, reflected in their preferential responses to faces and eye contact [ 67– 73].
