The love of .lesus Christ is to bo seen in that warm alTectlon for him whiafi leads the faithful to wish that his soul may become almost u part or that of Christ, aud that the living principle in the Lord may be repro duced In himself, not in the way of an exter nal image but as an inward and divine In spiration. This love Is omnipotent, uniting the creature with the Creator. Man. In fuct, rises continually from humanity to some thing divine when Im Is animated by this love, which Is the sw .etest of affections, penetrates the soul, and "uuses the faithful to walk on earth, rapt us it. were In the spirit.
