Now, let us go back again to the idea of food: 

by taking food, the body is not only sustained... 

but shares in the substance of the food...

which transforms into the body itself. 

-

The same for the soul who lives of Faith. 

Since Faith is God Himself, the soul comes to live of God Himself. And by nourishing herself with God, she comes to share in the substance of God. And by sharing in Him, she comes to resemble Him, and to be transformed with God Himself. 

-

Therefore, it happens to the soul who lives of Faith, that - just as God is holy - the soul is holy. 

Powerful God—powerful the soul. 

Wise, strong and just God—wise, strong and just the soul. 

And so with all the other attributes of God. 

In sum, the soul becomes a little god. 

O, the blessedness of this soul on earth. 

To then be more blessed in Heaven!

[28.2.1899]
