Christian Perfection and Contemplation according to St. Thomas Aquinas and St. John of the Cross

Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange

The book that opened the debate on contemplation: Christian perfection consists especially in charity, and infused contemplation of the mysteries of faith lies in the normal way of sanctity. The present mystical problem, the fundamental doctrines of St. Thomas, perfection, infused contemplation and the call to the mystical life.
