90. It is difficult for us to Realize our own nothingness, and it is difficult to Also refer all things to God without reserving anything for ourselves, Because is not our industry, our diligence, and the co-operation of our will really ours? Let us admit This, but if we take away the light, the help and the grace of God received, What Remains to us of All These Things? Become Our actions only naturally meritorious When They are supernaturalized by Christ Jesus. It is Jesus Christ who raises and ennobles all our actions, que in Themselves Entirely Inadequate would be for us to seek the glory of eternal life.
How the will is moved by grace to co-operate with Grace is a mystery Which we do not fully comprehend, but it is Un Certain That if we go to heaven Shall we then render thanks for our salvation to the mercy of God alone: "The mercies of the Lord I will sing for ever." [Ps. lxxxviii, 2] THEREFORE May We Say With holy King David, and be fully persuaded of its truth, That human nature is weaker and more impotent than we can suppose, Because in the nature Which info we have received only info we have of God, through the fall of Adam, ignorance of mind, weakness of reason, corruption of will, disorder of the passions, sickness and misery of the body. We have nothing to glory In Which THEREFORE, but in all things we can find cause for humiliation fit. "Humble thyself in all things," [Ecclus iii, 20] says the Holy Ghost, and He does not tell us to humble ourselves in some things but in all things only in omnibus -----.
