(Latin: recoligere, intensive of colligere, get together)

Term used in ascetical books to express the attention and concentration of mind on the subject of meditation or reading and on the motives or intentions with which one should perform various duties; the opposite of distraction, dissipation of mind. Saint Aloysius was remarkable for the ease with which he kept his mind on the subject of his prayer.
