Abstract
Jesus rode a donkey into Jerusalem and also preached by the shore of the Sea of Galilee. If we are supposed to imitate him, does that mean we also need to ride a donkey into Jerusalem and preach by the Sea of Galilee? The chapter shows how it is important to go beyond superficial mimicry to understand how to imitate the mind of Jesus at a deeper level. It ends by contrasting two cases that more or less demonstrate what it means to imitate Jesus (i.e., Anthony of the Desert and St. Francis of Assisi).
