Francis De Sales Quotes
In Short, Devotion Is Simply A Spiritual Activity And Liveliness By Means Of Which Divine Love Works In Us, And Causes Us To Work Briskly And Lovingly; And Just As Charity Leads Us To A General Practice Of All God's Commandments, So Devotion Leads Us To Practise Them Readily And Diligently. And Therefore We Cannot Call Him Who Neglects To Observe All God's Commandments Either Good Or Devout, Because In Order To Be Good, A Man Must Be Filled With Love, And To Be Devout, He Must Further Be Very Ready And Apt To Perform The Deeds Of Love. And Forasmuch As Devotion Consists In A High Degree Of Real Love, It Not Only Makes Us Ready, Active, And Diligent In Following All God's Commands, But It Also Excites Us To Be Ready And Loving In Performing As Many Good Works As Possible, Even Such As Are Not Enjoined Upon Us, But Are Only Matters Of Counsel Or Inspiration.
