| Quotation | But in any case, what amused me was that the Father who wrote the article asserted that "the degree of union with God" had "nothing to do with the problem" of differentiating between vocations in the objective sense of state. I opened [Pierre] Joret's book on the Dominican life and found a whole page which said that the life of union with God marks the summit of Dominican life and also that contemplation, far from being even an intermediary end, for a Preacher, is a true end to be sought for its own sake, the highest of all ends and not just a means to the apostolate. |
