Contemplation is a response to a call: a call from Him Who has no voice, and yet Who speaks in everything that is, and Who, most of all, speaks in the depths of our own being; for we ourselves are words of His. But we are words that are meant to respond to Him, to answer to Him, to echo Him
Thomas Merton
In order to live the call to mercy in our daily lives, we need to be rooted in Christ. Through Christ we find our model, strength, compassion, and humbleness necessary to serve others. Contemplation allows us to know God, not just know of Him. It is only through daily conversation and contemplation with God that we grow to be disciples and through our discipleship, missionaries of mercy.
