The indwelling, therefore, gives us an extraordinary capacity for knowing God. No natural intelligence, no genius, no education can begin to begin to provide for the extraordinary knowledge that God’s indwelling gives the human soul. And the same with love. Those who possess the divine indwelling are capable of loving God as no one else can.
The divine indwelling enables us to give as no creature could possibly give. Unless God dwells in our souls we cannot imitate God in His giving with that complete selflessness which constitutes the very essence of God.
--Fr. John A. Hardon, SJ
