CHAPTER LXIII
Of the ordering of all the virtues through the seven gifts of the
Holy GhostThe Gift of Fear
When a man lives in the Fear of God,
in the moral virtues and in outward works; and when he is obedient and
submissive to Holy Church and to the Divine commandments, and when he is ready
and willing in simplicity of intention to do all good things: then he is like
unto God, through faithfulness, and through the gathering of his will into the
will of God, both in doing and in leaving undone. And he rests in God,
above likeness; for through faithfulness and singleness of intention, he fulfils
the will of God more or less according to the measure of his likeness; and
through love, he rests in his Beloved above likeness.
