Produced from the grounds of the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy, Sparks of Mercy is a conversation about books, words, and God’s Word given to us through the Bible, Catholic Tradition, and the created order. Senior Writer/Editor Christopher Sparks interviews Marian Press authors, readers, and just plain faithful folks in order to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit speaking to us today.

Jesus said, “Whoever wishes to come after Me, must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me” (Matthew 16:24). This is what Christians have been trying to do for centuries: to become like Christ. The old expression was “imitating Christ”; now we say, “following Christ,” walking in His footsteps, to become like Him. Join Fr. Joe Roesch, MIC, as he reads the spiritual classic, “The Imitation of Christ,” from beginning to end. It was written in the 1400s, yet sounds like it was written yesterday. Translated into languages all over the world, it is said to be the most well-read book in the world next to the Bible. “The Imitation of Christ” was read and beloved by many of the saints, and offers great spiritual advice for every age. Father Roesch is reading the translation by Aloysius Croft and Harold Bolton, available in a PDF download from CatholicPlanet.com. Support our Ministries here.
