Wisdom from Peter Kreeft

 
 
 

The contemplative life is not a withdrawal away from the rest of the life of the soul, especially the will and the emotions, but the fulfillment of all three of its powers. The contemplative withdraws from the world in a way but not from his own humanity; indeed, he withdraws from the world precisely in order to enter more deeply and completely into his own humanity.

—Peter Kreeft

from his book, Practical Theology: Spiritual Direction from Saint Thomas Aquinas
