Daily Message from Pope Francis – Contemplation Depends Not on the Eyes But on the Heart


THURSDAY, MAY 13, 2021

“We can contemplate by gazing at the sun that rises in the morning, or at the trees that deck themselves out in spring green; we can contemplate by listening to music or to the sounds of the birds, reading a book, gazing at a work of art or at that masterpiece that is the human face…. First of all to contemplate is not a way of doing, but a way of being. To be contemplative. And being contemplative does not depend on the eyes, but on the heart.” Pope Francis
