St. Thomas Aquinas says: “Praise be to Jesus.”

“I have come to help you understand that Holy Love is the mirror which reflects the state of your soul. In this mirror the depth of Holy Love in your heart is reflected along with the reflection of all other virtues–for love is the light that shines through all virtues. It is self-love that clouds this mirror and does not allow the soul to see clearly the depth of virtue in his heart or his errors and faults.”

“Holy Love is the mirror all souls need to gaze into to see their inner beauty which reveals how they appear in God's Eyes. This is the appearance and beauty that needs careful attendance–continual attendance.”

“The depth of every virtue in the soul is reflected in the depth of Holy Love in the heart; for instance, the soul can only be as patient as he is loving. He can only be as humble as he is loving. To pretend otherwise is false virtue, and not a reflection of Holy Love.”

“This is why the soul must continually weigh and measure his thoughts, words and deeds on the scale of Holy Love. Only then will he be a more perfect image of Holy Love for all to behold.”
