Contemplata aliis tradere : ウィキペディア英語版 | Contemplata aliis tradere
''Contemplata aliis tradere'' is a Latin phrase which translates into English as "to give to others the fruit of contemplation." Drawn from the writings of St. Thomas Aquinas, the phrase is often used to express the distinct Dominican view of vocation, and for that reason, it has become a motto of the Dominican Order.〔Chenu, Marie-Dominique, ''Aquinas and his role in theology'', (Liturgical Press, 2002), p. 46.〕 == Thomas Aquinas's text == In his ''Summa Theologica'', begun in 1265 approximately fifty years after St. Dominic founded the Dominican Order, Thomas Aquinas wrote: ''Vita contemplativa simpliciter est melior quam activa quae occupatur circa corporales actus, sed vita activa secundum quam aliquis praedicando et docendo contemplata aliis tradit, est perfectior quam vita quae solum contemplatur, quia talis vita praesupponit abundantiam contemplationis. Et ideo Christus talem vitam elegit'' (''Summa Theologica, '' II, II, 188, 6). (Translation: "the contemplative life is, absolutely speaking, more perfect than the active life, because the latter is taken up with bodily actions: yet that form of active life in which a man, by preaching and teaching, delivers to others the fruits of his contemplation, is more perfect than the life that stops at contemplation, because such a life is built on an abundance of contemplation, and consequently such was the life chosen by Christ.").〔(Thomas Aquinas, ''Summa Theologiae'', from the online resource ''The Logic Museum'' ), accessed July 20, 2013.〕
