Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Divine Contemplation for All: Or the Simple Art of Communing With God The notion of Divine Contemplation is not less in need of being elucidated and brought back to its legitimate, traditional, Catholic meaning than was that of the Mystical Life. It has suffered just as much at the hands of modern writers, by a host of whom it has been misunderstood, distorted, narrowed down and all but made a bug-bear; whilst in its true self Divine Contemplation is the grandest, noblest, sweetest, easiest thing in the world; in some measure, and under some form or other, obligatory on all; and as necessary to the Christian at every stage of his spiritual life as is the act of breathing to the physical well-being of every animal, wherever situated in the scale of life, and at whatever stage of its development. In this new treatise I take Divine Contemplation in its widest meaning, as understood by St. Thomas in his Summa Theologica, Secunda Secundæ, quæst. 179-182, and by St. Francis of Sales in his treatise on The Love of God, Book vi, ch. vi, last paragraph, where he says: "In order to attain to contemplation it is usually necessary to hear the divine word, hold spiritual conferences with others like the anchorites of old, read devout books, pray, meditate, sing devout canticles, and entertain good thoughts.
