“The contemplative is on the journey to wholeness, autonomy, freedom - the freedom to love, to care, to transfigure the earth. Ultimately contemplation is related to our vocation - to what we are to do in the world. God gives us not only an incomplete self; God gives us an incomplete world. In contemplative prayer we participate in God's nature, we are in touch with our own divinity.” — Elizabeth O'Connor OCSO
