"De Virtutibus Infusis" is a profound theological treatise exploring the nature and operation of the infused virtues within the framework of Catholic dogma and scholastic philosophy. Written by the Jesuit scholar Blasio Beraza, this work provides an exhaustive examination of the supernatural habits-faith, hope, and charity-that are poured into the soul by divine grace. Beraza meticulously analyzes the distinction between acquired and infused virtues, drawing upon the tradition of Saint Thomas Aquinas and the broader scholastic heritage to clarify how these virtues direct the human person toward their ultimate supernatural end.
The text serves as an essential resource for students of moral theology and spiritual life, offering rigorous definitions and systematic arguments regarding the necessity, properties, and effects of grace-led living. It delves into the relationship between the intellect, the will, and divine assistance, making it a significant contribution to early 20th-century Catholic thought. This scholarly exploration remains a valuable reference for those seeking to understand the traditional ecclesiastical teachings on the inner life and the theological foundations of Christian perfection.
