Effects of grace

"THERE are five effects of grace in us: of these, the first is, to heal the soul; the second, to desire good; the third, to carry into effect the good proposed; the fourth, to persevere in good; the fifth, to reach glory."

~St. Thomas Aquinas: Summa Theologica, I-II, Q. 111, A. 3.
