St. Jerome says, "Man can do no good work without God, Who, in giving free will, did not refuse His grace to aid every single work." Mark the words "did not refuse His grace for every single work."
St. Ambrose: "He would never come and knock at the door, unless He wished to enter; it is our fault that He does not always enter."
St. Leo: "Justly does He insist on the command, since He furnishes beforehand aid to keep it."
St. Hilary: "Now the grace of justification has abounded through one gift to all men."
Innocent I: "He gives to man daily remedies; and unless we put confidence in them and depend upon them, we shall never be able to overcome human errors."
St. Augustine: "It is not imputed to you as a sin if you are ignorant against your will, but if you neglect to learn that of which you are ignorant. Nor is it imputed as a sin that you do not bind up your wounded limbs, but [mark these words] that you despise Him Who is willing to cure you. These are your own sins; for no man is deprived of the knowledge of how to seek with benefit to himself." In another place: "Therefore if the soul is ignorant what it is to do, it proceeds from this, that it has not yet learned; but it will receive this knowledge if it has made a good use of what it has already received; for it has received in this that it can piously and diligently seek, if it will;" [mark the words] "it has received power to seek piously and diligently."So that every one receives at least the remote grace to seek; and if he makes good use of this, he will receive the proximate grace to perform that which at first he could not do. St. Augustine founds all this on the principle, that no man sins in doing that which he cannot help; therefore, if a man sins in anything, he sins in that he might have avoided it by the grace of God, which is wanting to no man: "Who sins in that which cannot in any way be helped? But a man does sin, therefore it might have been helped." "But only by His aid, Who cannot be deceived." An evident reason, by which it becomes quite clear . . . [that when we speak of the sin of the obstinate], that if the grace necessary to observe the Commandments were wanting, there would be no sin.= = = = = =
