Believing is an act of the intellect assenting to the divine truth by command of the will moved by God through grace.
Down in adoration falling, Lo! the sacred Host we hail; Lo! o'er ancient forms departing, Newer rites of grace prevail; Faith for all defects supplying, Where the feeble senses fail.
Man is closer to God according to his existence in grace than he is according to his existence in nature.
Grace does not destroy nature, it perfects it.
Without sanctifying grace it is not possible to refrain long from mortal sin.
The splendor of a soul in grace is so seductive that it surpasses the beauty of all created things.
Likewise grace and glory are referred to the same genus, since grace is nothing other than a certain first beginning of glory in us.
Grace renders us like God and a partaker of the divine nature.
