The Virtue Of Contentment Is The Acquiescence

The Passive Receiving Of Christ Is The Process By Which A Spiritual Principle Of Grace Is Generated In The Will Of Man.

From Faith, Hope, And Love, The Virtues Of Religion Referring To God, There Arises A Double Act Which Bears On The Spiritual Communion Exercised Between God And Us; The Hearing Of The Word And Prayer.

Faith Is The Virtue By Which, Clinging-to The Faithfulness Of God, We Lean Upon Him, So That We May Obtain What He Gives To Us.

The Inward Offer Is A Kind Of Spiritual Enlightenment, Whereby The Promises Are Presented To The Hearts Of Men, As It Were, By An Inward Word.

Participation In The Blessings Of The Union With Christ Comes When The Faithful Have All The Things Needed To Live Well And Blessedly To God.
