No comments on Mary was Both Active and Contemplative without Neglect

At St John Church in Siem Reap, Cambodia

The Virgin was occupied in the active life, but labour did not interrupt her union with God. In the contemplative life she was recollected in God, but without neglect of the temporal life and of the charity due to the neighbour.
Saint Alphonsus Liguori
