It is a truth of faith defined against the Pelagians and the Semi-Pelagians,(2) that, without this grace, we can neither dispose ourselves positively to conversion, nor persevere for a notable time in good, nor above all persevere until death. Without actual grace, we cannot produce the slightest salutary act, or, with even greater reason, reach perfection.- Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange, The Three Ages of the Interior Life. Vol.1. (St.Louis:Herder Book, 1947), #.
Further example of Garrigou-Lagrange's presentation of the necessity of actual grace.
