520			_a"On Prayer and the Contemplative Life" by Saint Aquinas Thomas is a theological work written in the early 20th century. The text compiles teachings from the "Summa Theologica", focusing on themes of prayer, devotion, and the contemplative life. It aims to provide guidance on achieving union with God through prayer and contemplation, emphasizing the mystical aspects of the spiritual journey. At the start of the treatise, the translator outlines the necessity of mysticism in a world increasingly skeptical about science. The introduction discusses the significance of Saint Thomas Aquinas' teachings regarding the virtue of religion, devotion, and prayer, suggesting that they guide the believer toward a deeper understanding and relationship with God. The text also emphasizes the value of drawing on the insights of saints and mystics while warning against the dangers of misguided mysticism. This foundational context sets the stage for a detailed exploration of prayer and contemplative practices, encouraging readers to deepen their spiritual lives through reflection and action.
