God's grace changes and re-orders the soul.

God's grace is not external; it actually changes and re-orders the soul and its loves, so that "God becomes the life of the soul as the soul is the life of the body." This begins now and is perfected in Heaven; in fact if it does not begin now, the soul could not endure Heaven.
