"…the entire doctrine of Saint John of the Cross is one wherein contemplation takes all, pulls it towards itself and conquers it in the name of the Crucified and Risen One. The transforming union goes outwards while going inwards.
"In a word, just as (to borrow Saint Hildegard’s well known saying) the body is in the soul, our action must become progressively more and more in our prayer.
“Or again, the exterior, the active, is seized from the inside.”
I just found this blog, Contemplative in the Mud, and the more I read it the more I like it. The article above is one of its gems, IMHO.
If anybody here owns the blog: Kudos to you
