This study argues that a missionary dedicated to evangelization and serving the poor is a man of contemplation. Some often believed that a certain industriousness could not be married to a contemplative vision of things and life. However, the active and contemplative life are not mutually exclusive. It is impossible today to think of structuring a missionary activity without including the contemplative dimension. And how do we articulate action and contemplation? In the short space of this reflection, I will try to bring out the fruitfulness of the indication of the GA 2022, which assigns primacy in the area of spirituality to the rediscovery of the contemplative dimension in our lives. In the 1950s, Vincentian spirituality was defined as the "spirituality of action." This expression was intended to qualify the commitment of the Christian in the world. The formula, which went out of fashion until the 1970s, however, lent itself to be interpreted ambiguously, so much so that Dodin preferred to speak of "mysticism of religious action," Ibáñez: "mysticism in action," Toscani: "mysticism of the poor,” Maloney: “mysticism of charity.” Today more than ever we need an "incarnate faith" and an "inspired charity." We need a faith that necessarily translates into "actions to be done." Just as we need a charity that is born of God and returns to God and becomes the expression of a greater love, Christ. In missionary zeal, caring for the poor, and dedication to service, a greater good arrives: the saving love of God.
