[Danut7]

"... from the instant we are baptized, grace is hidden in the depths of the intellect, concealing its presence even from the perception of the intellect itself. When someone begins, however, to love God with full resolve, then in a mysterious way, by means of intellectual perception, grace communicates something of its riches to the soul. Then, if he really wants to hold fast to this discovery, he joyfully starts longing to be rid of all his temporal goods, so as to acquire the field in which he has found the hidden treasure of life (cf. Mt. 13:44). This is because, when someone rids himself of all worldly riches, he discovers the place where the grace of God is hidden. For as the soul advances, divine grace more and more reveals itself to the intellect."

Din moment ce incepe insa cineva sa iubeasca pe Dumnezeu cu toata hotararea, o parte din bunatatile harului intra intr-un chip negrait in comunicare cu sufletul prin simtirea mintii. Prin aceasta, cel ce vrea sa tina cu tarie lucrul pe care l-a aflat, vine la dorinta sa vanda cu multa bucurie toate bunurile cele de aici, ca sa cumpere cu adevarat tarina in care a aflat ascunsa comoara vietii(Mat 13:44). Caci cand va vinde cineva toata bogatia lumeasca, va afla locul in care statea ascuns harul lui Dumnezeu. Fiindca pe masura inaintarii sufletului, isi descopera si darul dumnezeiesc bunatatea lui in minte."[/COLOR] Diadoh al Foticeii
