Activity and Contemplation

“Those who are more adapted to the active life can prepare themselves for contemplation in the practice of the active life, while those who are more adapted to the contemplative life can take upon themselves the works of the active life so as to become yet more apt for contemplation.”         

–Saint Thomas Aquinas (Italian Dominican Friar, Theologian and Philosopher, 1225-1274)
