TCR 73 - the order of order

TCR 73 [2]

The omnipotent God created the world
from the order within Him,
that is, into the order in which He is,
and in accordance with which He rules;
and He impressed upon the universe
and each and all things of it its own order,
upon mankind his order,
upon the beast its order,
upon bird and fish and worm,
and every tree and even every blade of grass,
upon each its own order.

. . . The laws of order enjoined upon a person are,
that he should acquire for himself truths from the Word,
and reflect upon them naturally,
and as far as he can, rationally,
and thus acquire for himself a natural faith.

The laws of order on the part of God then are,
that He will draw near
and fill these truths with His Divine light,
and thus fill the person's natural faith
(which is mere knowledge and persuasion)
with a Divine essence.
In this and in no other way can faith become saving.
It is the same with charity.
