“To a Carmelite, contemplation is the better part…. The Carmelites have realized the necessity of interrupting contemplation for the care of souls and the Popes have called them to the pulpit, to the mission field and to various apostolic activities. Love of their neighbor and obedience to the Head of the Church have made them accept the mixed life; they too are passing on to others the fruit of their contemplation…. Their task in the world completed, they are asked to return as speedily as may be to the first and direct object of their vocation.”
Bl. Titus Brandsma
