“Follow my example–as I follow the example of Christ.” — 1 Cor 11:1

“Be imitators of me–as I also am of Christ.” 1 Corinthians 11:1

One way in which God reveals himself to us, is through the lives of the godly and the saintly. Next to living in direct communion with him–is living with others who thus live with him. Converse with those who lie in Christ’s bosom and who know the secret of the Lord, cannot but greatly enrich our own knowledge of divine things. Yet in these busy days we are quite in danger of losing almost altogether out of our lives, this rich means of grace. One has said: “Do not think it wasted time– to submit yourself to any influence which may bring upon you any noble feeling.”
