Divine Love and Wisdom (Harleys) n. 213

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

213. As regards love and wisdom, love is the end, wisdom the instrumental cause, and use is the effect. Also use is the complex, containant and base of wisdom and love. And use is such a complex and such a containant that all things of love and all things of wisdom are actually within it. It is their "togetherness". But it should be clearly borne in mind that all things of love and wisdom which are homogeneous and concordant, are present in use, in accordance with those things mentioned and explained above (in the section n. 189-194).
