The Words of Eternal Life
(Found here ) “Because with grace comes charity, and with charity comes wisdom, and wisdom imparts to us the capacity to suffer divine things. You might think that word suffer is misplaced, and perhaps it’s a little too dramatic for the present. But what I mean to say is that by charity we permit God to impress divine things into our very minds and hearts. It gives us a kind of sympathy with the divine mind. And we come to discover that our heart is beating in time with the very heart of God, such that we have a savor for, such that we have a taste for the things of God. So that we can incline toward His will as if by second nature—not prompted by grave duty or obligation, but something that we couldn’t live without, something without which our lives wouldn’t make sense. For He alone has the words of eternal life, and to whom else would we go?” ~Gregory Pine
