7. Communities which are entirely dedicated to contemplation, so that their members in solitude and silence, with constant prayer and penance willingly undertaken, occupy themselves with God alone, retain at all times, no matter how pressing the needs of the active apostolate may be, an honorable place in the Mystical Body of Christ, whose "members do not all have the same function" (Rom. 12:4).
Mashirika ya taamuli 7. Mashirika ambayo yajishughulisha muda wote na taamuli, kiasi kwamba wanashirika wake wanamtafuta Mungu tu katika upweke na katika ukimya, katika sala za daima na matendo ya toba kwa moyo, ingawa taabu za kazi za kitume zinaelemea vikali, yanastahili kuendelea kuwa na nafasi yenye kuheshimiwa katika Mwili wa fumbo wa Kristo, ambamo “viungo vyote havitendi kazi moja” (Rum 12:4).
