However, only a small portion of it is directed exclusively to them; the remainder, but especially what regards the observance of the vows of religion, regular discipline, and the perfection of the religious state, is equally suited to Religious of all denominations; and what regards the Christian virtues, will be found highly useful even for seculars.\u003cbr\u003e     To each chapter is annexed prayers, replete with pious affections, knowing that such prayers are very acceptable to Religious who seek perfection. For, as St. Denis the Areopagite says, “Divine love consists in the affections of the heart more than in the knowledge of the understanding.” In human sciences, knowledge excites love; but in the science of saints, love produces knowledge. He that loves God most,  knows Him best. Besides, it is not lofty and fruitless conceptions, but works, that unite the soul to God, and make in rich merits before the Lord.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mother of Our Savior Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44410146193491,"sku":"N-TSC","price":29.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/0205\/6019\/files\/N-TSC.jpg?v=1775462513","url":"https:\/\/joyfulcatholic.com\/products\/the-true-spouse-of-jesus-christ","provider":"Mother of Our Savior","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
