Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Perfection of Man by Charity: A Spiritual Treatise
The principal scope of the Treatise is to show that the whole work of our perfection is reduced to the development of the one central virtue of love, namely, the habit of Divine Charity, as being the spring of our actions, and the soul of the virtues in the supernatural order; on which all the laws of God rest,1 wherein they are all contained,2 and to the perfection of which they all tend.3 And, further, to bring forward the important and practical teaching of S. Thomas,4 and S. Bonaventure,5 that the Spirit of God works in us through the medium of His own virtue of love; mea'z'am'e Izaéz'tu 6 thus governing us according to our nature, which moves by means of love, freely, readily, and sweetly.
