Lesson Fourteen in Principles of the Moral Life, with Fr Thomas Joseph White, OP, DPhil (Oxon), STL, Rector of the Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas in Rome.
In justification, God infuses into the soul supernatural habits of faith, hope, and love. Justification then is a kind of new order and righteousness created in us by the interactivity of grace, which reorients both the mind and the heart toward God. Yet in heaven, we possess God no longer by hope, but by an enduring union of love that cannot be lost.

Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Leo XIV as the Vicar of Christ, the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
