"The Chronicle of the Canons Regular of Mount St. Agnes" by Thomas à Kempis is a historical account written in the late 14th century. This work chronicles the founding and early years of the Monastery of Mount St. Agnes, detailing its establishment by followers of Master Gerard Groote and the devout lives of its first inhabitants. The text serves as a spiritual and historical document, reflecting on the community's commitment to their faith and shared life of humility and service. The opening of the text introduces the intentions behind writing the chronicle as a memorial and inspiration for both the present and future members of the monastery. It describes the early days when the first brothers, lead by John of Ummen, sought a location to live apart from worldly distractions, emphasizing their spiritual dedication and the significant role of Master Gerard Groote in their lives. The narrative goes on to recount the challenges faced by these early religious figures as they established their community, notably through acts of service, prayer, and the miraculous provision of necessities by God. The spiritual and physical hardships they endure lay the groundwork for a rich communal life deeply rooted in faith and devotion. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
