Personality
Jesus, Man-God, is the goal to which all holiness aspires. In the saint the Father sees His own Son. The human ego is replaced by the divine ego - a new personality. thus the saint will be a true person "living and acting of itself" to the degree that he masters his senses, his passions, circumstances, opinions, attractions, his own ideas, the inclinations which make a man a slave. sometimes one sings the praises of liberty while instead he enslaves himself in a thousand ways. to some extent the saying "we submit to the law in order to be free" can be adapted so as to state "my ego is Jesus." To reach this goal, attained by St. Paul, we must discover and savor the interiority of Jesus Christ
