Marie-Joseph Le GuillouA loving gaze on the Lord, a simple gaze, loving, extended, that rests in the spiritual realities to which it assimilates us: that’s contemplation… Mission is taken into the heart of the contemplative tradition. We must cling to contemplation like it is the apple of our eye. If there is none of it, Christianity loses all its sap, and there is no more salt of the earth…
Marie-Joseph Le Guillou OP (1920–1990)
