Maybe one of our Eastern Catholic or Orthodox brothers or sisters will have some insight on this . . .
What would be the rough “equivalents” in Eastern Christian spiritual literature of:
Imitation of Christ by Thomas a Kempis
and
The Liturgical Year by Dom Gueranger?
My guess after searching the Internet would be that either the “Ladder of Divine Ascent” or the “Philokalia” could be compared in scope and impact to “Imitation.”
But as for Gueranger’s work, I have no idea. Granted, he drew on the liturgies of the East and West in his work. But his primary emphasis was the liturgy and calendar of the Latin Church.
Thanks for your insights.
