Chapter XV. Of the Fourth Aid of the Human Will

THE fourth succour of our. will is Divine Love, which so aids and fortifies it, that there is nothing which it cannot do, and no passion or temptation which it cannot overcome.

The way to obtain it is by praying for it, and frequently seeking it from God; and by meditation—meditating on those points, which are calculated, by the grace of God, to inflame it in the earthly and human heart, which are these: Who is God. What and how great is His Power, His Wisdom, Goodness; what the Divine Beauty. What God has done for man: and what, if necessary, He would yet do. With what dispositions He did it. What He does every day for man. What He will do for man hereafter in another life, if whilst he now lives he obeys His precepts for the sake of pleasing Him, and with simplicity of mind.
