Unity of Five Virtues


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)
