St. Thomas Aquinas

St. Thomas Aquinas says: “Praise be to Jesus. I have come to help you see that all the grace obtained in one Chamber of the United Hearts is carried into the next Chamber and deepened. In other words the soul enters the First Chamber and is purified of his iniquity through Holy Love. When he enters the Second Chamber–holiness in the present moment–the purification he experienced in the First Chamber abides with him and continues. As he seeks to be holy in the present moment, he is even more aware of the slightest fault or iniquity, and strives to overcome them.”

“Gradually, the soul is drawn into the Third Chamber which is perfection of the virtues. The virtues are deepened through an awareness of imperfections in the present moment–the First and Second Chambers. And so it goes until the Kingdom of God–the Kingdom of the Divine Will–is established within the soul itself through union with the Divine Will.”

“So you see, this spiritual journey is like building a house–a spiritual refuge–within the human heart. One block builds upon another until the Kingdom of the Divine Will is enthroned with the heart itself.”

“Make this known.”
