But as thou, by God's grace, purgest thyself from these, He who gave thee grace to use that grace, will, by that grace, enlarge thee; enlarging thee, He will dwell in thee more largely. Thou mayest not feel or know His Presence; yea in each passion thou by His grace quellest, each temptation thou by His grace resistest, each prompting to which thou by His grace hearkenest, each groan for past sin thou by His grace utterest, each act of love thou by His grace doest, He will be more and more present to thy soul. For on our use of grace He bestoweth more grace, and grace is the Presence of the Comforter, Whom "He will give you that He may abide in you for ever." It is His own Presence, Who became Man that men might become partakers of Himself and His Divine Nature, Who, of all, saint or penitent, is the everlasting Joy of all His redeemed.
