VIRTUES OF THE WILL 59 
WHAT FORMS CONSTITUTE THE REFLEX OF 
DIVINE ATTRIBUTES PERTAINING TO 
THE WILL oF Gob? 
The attributes pertaining to the Will of God are 
Holiness, Perfection and Eternity. Consequently 
their superspiritual reflexes in conscience are the 
virtues of humility, fortitude and beatitude. 
THE VIRTUE oF HuwmiLITy 
Why is humility the commanding voice of holiness? 
Because holiness, being the most adorable ma- 
jesty of God, demands unreserved submission to 
the most adorable and majestic Will of God in 
order that the soul may participate in Divine Life. 
A relative being, as the soul is, must, by virtue of 
this fact, follow the absolute Life of God through 
free submission to this holiest life in order to sus- 
tain the dignity, the truth and the joy of its own 
life. 
Humility is the supreme demand of conscience 
and the basic state of the soul’s worthiness, the state 
of participating in the life of God. Consequently, 
humility constitutes the highest attainable reality 
and the fundamental virtue of the soul's will. 
In humility the soul finds God as the eternal Be- 
stower of its life and of its dignity, which is the 
dignity of divine childship, the true honor of life.
