When the will of the created entirely submits to that of the Creator, suffering freely and voluntarily and yielding only a consent to the divine will, which is its absolute submission, allowing itself to be totally surmounted and destroyed by the operations of love, this absorbs the will into self, consummates it in that of God, and purifies it from all narrowness, dissimilitude, and selfishness.
