Hi Mary,
Just wanted to let you know that I found out yesterday that Thomas a Kempis, author of The Imitation of Christ, is not a saint--yet. Saintly, yes, but not official.
Thought I ought to let you know.
Nancy -- thanks for letting me know; I'll update the post....
Blessings,
Thanks for this. I am a graduate from Thomas Aquinas College and I had never heard this before!
