To Those In Doubt
If there are some who are worried at the thought that they are unable to realize the doctrine and efficacy of supernatural charity in their lives, it will be well for them to remember the following.
First, it is a gift higher than sense.
Secondly, even when we are not conscious of it, our good thoughts and acts are divinely graced, and spread the sweet perfume of Christ throughout the world.
Thirdly, if our intentions are consciously referred to our Lord, their worth thereby is still more increased. Better still, if we practise the presence of God, attend Mass and go to Communion.
-M. C. D'Arcy, S.J.
