“Releasement challenges each of us to look at the soul behind the systems in which we find ourselves. It links once more the contemplative and the concrete, too long made to be natural enemies instead of necessary partners…It shows us that good will is not enough, professionalism is not enough, activity is not enough. To do something special we must each be something special. The world has never needed the true contemplative more.”—Joan D. Chittister, O.S.B.
