How are
we going to have the spirit of simplicity, humility, and gentleness,
if we don’t have mortification,
which makes us find the good in
everything? And how will we have
mortification without zeal, which
prompts us to rise above all sorts of
difficulties, not only by the
power of reason, but also by that of grace,
which helps us to find
pleasure in suffering. (22 August 1659; SV XII, 250)
