Experience
teaches us
that preachers who preach in conformity with the light of
faith do
more good in souls than those who fill their discourse with human and
philosophical reasoning because the light of faith is always
accompanied by a certain heavenly unction that diffuses itself
secretly in the hearts of the listeners. From that we can judge how
necessary it is, both for our own perfection and to procure the
salvation of souls, to accustom ourselves to follow the light of
faith always
and in all things. (SV XI, 25-26)
