But alas! man, having learned his vocation, has fallen from his dignity. Having renounced God, he renounces the spirit; and not living by the spirit, he begins to live by the flesh. Like the stars in the sky, all his bright thoughts and feelings slowly fade away! Where sin, contrary to the virtue of chastity, has taken root, there it is dull, empty and dark in thought and heart! For it is no longer God, but Satan who rules over such thought and heart, blowing out that fire of hell, which does not warm, but burns, which does not enlighten, but darkens! – A man given over to such a sin, stupefied in spirit, slowly turns into a corpse and in body. This fire burns and soils him everywhere.

Excerpt from " Spirit of RP AVRILLON to spend Advent, Lent, Ascension in a holy way... ": The Ascension (Gustave Dore) THE FEAST OF THE ASCENSION Day of faith PRACTICAL Start the day by adoring Jesus Christ ascending into heaven: congratulate him on his glorious triumph. Before he leaves the earth, receive his blessing with the apostles; ask him ardently for faith, and do frequent acts of it. May this spirit of faith attach you to God, and constantly sigh towards this heavenly abode that glorious Jesus will prepare for you today by his ascension. MEDITATION 1st point . Faith brings us closer to God; but it must be a faith of the mind and the heart: that is to say, it must be believed and loved at the same time; the mind must be perfectly submissive, and the heart aflame and ready to submit to all the most rigorous practices of the faith, when it would be a question of shedding down to the last drop of your blood. Ask it of the Holy Spirit, who is its author. Take a tender and respectful …More

Extract from the SPIRITUAL CATECHISM OF CHRISTIAN PERFECTION, VOLUME I, Composed by RPJJ SURIN, of the Society of Jesus: The conversion of Saint Paul, Acts of the Apostles (Countess of Segur) From consumption to Grace What do you mean by this consumption? I mean the highest degree of perfection, to which man having arrived, we can say that he is consummate in virtue, confirmed in the practice of good, and as it were confirmed in grace. What does this consumption consist of? Besides the graces of which we have just spoken, which are specific to this state; what constitutes its character is firmness, ease of doing good, and freedom. What is this firmness? It is an establishment in virtue so solid that it appears to be unshakeable: it is achieved through long exercise, through the strength of holy habits and through the help of grace; in the same way that men, by dint of practicing in the particular professions that they have embraced since their youth, perfect themselves so solidly that …More

QUESTION 26 — DIVINE BEATITUDE Finally, after what concerns the unity of the divine essence, we must study beatitude 1. Does beatitude suit God? 2. Is God said to be blessed because of intellection? 3. Is God essentially the beatitude of every blessed person? 4. Does the blessedness of God include all blessedness? Article 1 - Is beatitude suitable to God? Objections: 1. It seems not. Because, according to Boethius, beatitude is “a state resulting from the assembly of all goods.” Now there is no assembly of goods in God, nor any composition. Therefore bliss does not suit God. 2. Beatitude, or felicity, according to the Philosopher is the reward of virtue. But no reward is appropriate for God, nor any merit. In the contrary sense , the Apostle (1 Tim 5:15) speaks of: “He who will bring forth at the appointed time the blessed and only Sovereign, King of kings and Lord of lords. ” Answer: Bliss is supremely fitting for God. For under the name of beatitude we mean nothing other than the …More
