So the human sanctity has limits but the Divine Will sanctity
goes beyond it to the infinite- remember last week’s discussion

about the least in the Kingdom of Heaven being greater than
v
John the Baptist. Note: Even though we can get the gift of
living in the Divine Will before Mystical Marriage, as discussed
last week, eventually we must possess all the virtues of the
vi
saints of old cf St Hannibal letter 3. 8/30/1920.

A good example is King David. He was anointed King to
replace Saul but had to wait for the fulfilment of this Kingship. In
the meantime he committed murder and adultery (a flaw in his

virtues indeed!) but went on to become that great King
according to his anointing- a man after Gods own heart 1 Sam
13:14. The Palms which he wrote even proclaim at the end of
his life he was blameless before God- note a sharing already in

the redemption in Christ by anticipation. See Psalm 18:23 and
in 2 Sam 22:24 David even feels forgiven enough to call himself
blameless; and St Paul affirms in 2 Cor 5:17 those in Christ are

a new creation the old is gone.

Let’s come to scripture again, as indeed we always must, to
show what we are talking about is not changing but a

magnification of a truth in the sacred text. 2 Corinthians 3:7-18

St Paul says “Now if the ministry of death, chiselled in letters on
stone tablets, came in glory so that the people of Israel could

not gaze at Moses’ face because of the glory of his face, a glory

now set aside, how much more will the ministry of the Spirit
come in glory ... And all of us, with unveiled faces, seeing the

glory of the Lord as though reflected in a mirror, are being

transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to

another.”

This ongoing transformation or divinisation as said in the last

chapter, is reveal in the DIVINE WILL to Luisa as the nine

levels of living in the DIVINE WILL ; a previous chapter
