St. Thomas Aquinas says: “Praise be to Jesus.”
“I have come today to speak about love. Whenever there is lack of trust in the heart, it is a sign of a weakness in Holy Love. Lack of trust is an early sign of fear. Scripture has it that perfect love casts out all fear.” *
“Fear gains the soul nothing and even forms a barrier between the human heart and the Divine. Therefore, understand that fear is an obstacle to grace.”
“Holy Love is the doorway to grace. It is a reflection of God's Love – a mirror image of Divine Love. The way to achieve the fulfillment of all your petitions, then, is to perfect your heart in Holy Love. This is to live in God's Holy and Divine Will. God does not want to deny such a heart anything.”
* 1 John 4:18 – “There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love.”
