The sun penetrates crystal and makes it more dazzling. In the same way, the sanctifying Spirit indwells in souls and makes them more radiant. They become like so many powerhouses beaming grace and love around them.

Basil of Caesarea

The sins of the entire world get drowned in the sea of God's love like a stone thrown into water. So there can't be any space for despondency, hopelessness and despair.
