And in short, to sum up the whole, the love of Christ has a tendency to fill the soul with an inexpressible sweetness.
It sweetens every thought and makes every meditation pleasant; it brings a divine calm upon the mind, and spreads a heavenly fragrancy like Mary's box of ointment.
It bedews the soul with the dew of heaven, begets a bright sunshine, and diffuses the beginnings of glory and happiness in embryo.
All the world smiles upon such a soul as loves Christ: the sun, moon and stars, fields and trees, do seem to salute him.
Such a mind is like a little heaven upon earth.
