[The Holy Spirit] says,
[...] Love is truly the gift of gifts, the means to maintain the gift of Grace, the development of virtues and the attainment of the ultimate goal. For this reason, it is given by the Holy Spirit, Spirit of the divine Spirit, essence of the most perfect and reciprocal love of the Father and of the Son, proceeding from their kiss, from their mutual affinity and from their jubilant contemplation.
The will of man can make this gift of the Spirit of Love very active, sufficient in itself to obtaining the end for which men had been created: the predestination to Grace and to Glory. Because, in truth, all those who are moved by love become "children of God" (Paul to the Romans c. 8, v.16) since their every action inspires love, that is, to the good towards He whose presence they feel even if they do not exactly know Him, and towards their fellow creatures; therefore, they live according to the natural-mo ral law placedand preserved by God the Creator in the heart of man.
It is of these people that St. Paul writes, "When the Gentiles, who have not the law, do that which the law imposes, and by not having a law, are a law unto themselves and they show that the fear of the law is written in their hearts and bears witness to their conscience… they will be justified on the day in which God, through Jesus Christ, will judge the secret actions of men."
As a matter of fact, whoever acts with a good conscience by following the dictates of the moral law shows that he has a Christian soul by nature, open to Good and to the Truth, and Jesus, who died so that men could have eternal Life – men of good will – will be their justification. Because all those, who though not knowing of God as He is known by Catholics, firmly believe that a God He is, a just and provident God, He who remunerates each and everyone according to individual merits, belong to the soul of the Church, out of the love which they feel for Him and out of the love and justice which they have for their neighbour and for themselves, out of the desire of God and out of the perfect contrition of the sins which could have been committed.
