DP 296 - Divine Providence's Goal Is to Save; DP 298 - Truth Effects Reformation

DP 296

. . . in every person
Divine providence operates in a thousand ways,
even in very secret ways;
that it continually has as its end to purge him,
because it has as an end to save him;
and that nothing more is incumbent on the person
than to put away evils in his external self.
The Lord provides the rest,
if entreated to.

DP 298 [5]

All reformation is effected by means of truth
and not apart from it,
for without truth
the will is continually intent on its evil,
and if it consults the intellect,
it is not instructed,
but the evil is justified by falsities.
