CL 183 [3-4]
Love cannot rest unless it acts, for love is the active force in life;
nor can wisdom exist and endure
unless it does so from love
and together with love
whenever love acts,
and to act is application to useful purpose.
Therefore we define application to useful purpose
as the doing of good from love through wisdom.
Application to useful purpose is what good is.
Since these three elements - love, wisdom, and application to useful purpose -
flow into people's souls, we can see why it is said that all good is from God.
For all action from love through wisdom is called good,
and action includes also application to useful purpose.
