Principles and Practices - September 18

Fruits of the Holy Spirit

When a human soul has all its powers lifted up and perfected by the infused virtues and gifts, it has all that is necessary in order to follow the movements of actual grace, and live a perfect Christian life leading to eternal beatitude. Like a great tree, fully developed, and within which a generous sap circulates, it should bear flowers and delicious fruits.

-Msgr. Albert Farges.
