Context i història
Tria de qüestions de la «Summa» sobre la vida activa i la contemplativa, amb títol d'editor. Al final de la seva vida Tomàs va deixar d'escriure dient que tot el que havia fet li semblava palla comparat amb el que havia vist; aquestes pàgines són el més a prop que va arribar a explicar-ho. Avís d'edició: **això és una part de la «Summa theologiae»**, no cap obra independent. El títol és de l'editor anglès, que va publicar els tractats per separat. Per citar, la Summa amb el seu número de qüestió i article.

And so this truly marvellous life went on till the end drew near. Day by day he ascended the steps of the altar, his face bathed in tears; day by day he returned to his work more and more illumined regarding the _Mysterium Fidei_, and with his soul still more closely knit to its Maker. His ecstasies became more frequent, and in one of these he was told that the close of his life was at hand. For it was at San Severino, not far from Salerno, that he fell into so prolonged an ecstasy that his sister who was present appealed to Reginald to know what had happened to her brother. Even Reginald was astonished. "He is frequently rapt in spirit," he said, "but never before have I seen him thus abstracted!" "Then," says William of Tocco, "Master Reginald went to him, and, plucking him by the cloak, roused him from this deep sleep of contemplation.…
