Perfection
Perfection does not consist in the knowledge of God's order, but in
submission to it. The order of God, the good pleasure of God, the
will of God, the action of God, grace--all these are one and the
same thing in this life... Perfection is nothing else than the
faithful cooperation of the soul with the work of God. This
ultimate purpose of our life grows and increases in our souls
secretly and without our knowledge.

Providence"

Ah, direct submission to Higher Purpose that is the warp and woof of creation... that is perfection.
