Divine Love and Wisdom (Rogers) n. 148

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

148. Since the Divine itself is present in angels and people by means of spiritual warmth and light, therefore when those possessing truths of Divine wisdom and goods of Divine love are affected by those truths and goods and think in accord with them about them with affection, they are said to grow warm in God. At times this becomes also apparent to people's perception and sensation, as when a preacher is speaking with zeal. These same people are also said to be enlightened by God, because by His emanating Divinity the Lord not only ignites the will with spiritual warmth but also enlightens the intellect with spiritual light.
